I have nothing against St. Patrick's Day however as holidays go there is little to nothing accurate about the history of the Saint or things associated with the date. St. Patrick wasn't born in Ireland he was kidnapped from Britain by pirates and taken to Ireland where he worked as a shepherd until he escaped and went back home where he vowed to return and bring Christianity to the pagans. He didn't rid the island of snakes as there haven't been any snakes in 10,000 years,and last the color green is most likely a reflection on the Emerald Isle itself rather than the saint as in that time period green was not a common color for clothing,he probably wore blue.
