Happy St. Paddy's Day! 🍀 Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, and is credited with successfully spreading Christianity throughout Ireland—hence the Christian celebration of his life and name. But he wasn't always called "Patrick". . .

The man who would eventually become St. Patrick was born in Britain (part of the Roman Empire at the time) as Maewyn Succat in the late 4th century. His family was Christian, but it’s said that Maewyn himself was an atheist throughout his childhood.

That would change at age 16 (around A.D. 400) when Maewyn was kidnapped by Irish pirates, who forced him to work as a shepherd in Ireland. After 6 years, he escaped his captors, walking nearly 200 miles through the Irish landscape and convincing a ship to carry him back to Britain.

Upon returning home, Maewyn received his call (in a dream) to preach the Gospel—in Ireland, of all places! He spent the next 15 or so years in a monastery in Britain, preparing for his missionary work. When he became a priest, his name was changed to Patricius, and he returned to the land of his captors to begin his teachings.

Although some Christians already lived in Ireland at the time, the country was largely pagan, so spreading a foreign religion was not an easy task. Patricius traveled from village to village.

So why the shamrock? 🍀 The leprechauns? 🎩The pot of gold? 🪙 Learn more about St. Patrick, Irish symbols, and Irish lore at Almanac.com/content/st-patricks-day

Daylight Saving Time strikes again! 🕑️ Before going to bed tonight, remember to set your clocks forward by an hour to wake up with the correct time.

By the way, the correct term is “Daylight Saving Time“ and not “Daylight Savings Time” (with an extra “s”), though many of us are guilty of saying it the wrong way. The technical explanation is that the word “saving” is singular because it acts as part of an adjective rather than a verb. Now you know! 😉
