St. Patrick Wasn't Irish: The Dark Truth Behind St. Patrick's Day

The patron saint of Ireland wasn't Irish. He was British. Born in Roman Britain. Spoke Latin. Had never heard of Ireland until the night a raiding party broke into his family's estate, dragged him onto a ship, and sold him into slavery. He was sixteen years old. He spent six years alone on an Irish hillside, herding sheep for the man who owned him. Then he escaped. Walked two hundred miles to freedom. Made it home. His family begged him to stay. He went back. The "snakes" he drove out of Ireland were never snakes — Ireland hasn't had snakes since the Ice Age. The shamrock wasn't a symbol of Ireland — it was a teaching tool for a foreign religion. Patrick's colour wasn't green — it was blue. And for most of the 20th century, Ireland banned drinking on St. Patrick's Day. Every pub in the country was closed by law. The celebration you know was built three thousand miles away, by immigrants who were drawn as apes in American newspapers, who saw "No Irish Need Apply" in shop windows, and who built a party so loud that the country trying to silence them had no choice but to listen. This is the real story of St. Patrick's Day. The one they buried under green beer.
