  1. I remember from school many many years ago that he was Welsh. I guess I should Google that one first. Was Ulster Scot even a thing 1700 years ago?

  2. I’m only surprised that they didn’t called the stew “Ulster Stew” or something else ludicrous.

    There will be festivities everywhere Nelson, instead of having your own just join the others, everyone is welcome!

  3. I wonder will Nelson try and work in that St Patrick was a protestant? Obviously not given i
    Protestantism wasn’t about until a millennium after. But Nelson and his crew are climate change deniers and believe dinosaurs are a hoax or proof of God’s sense of humour.

  4. Passed this church the other day and the banner says something daft like ‘Knowing St Patrick’.

    He wasn’t a Protestant. He followed Rome. He was neither Angle nor Saxon. Presbyterians don’t believe in saints, doctrinally.

    At what point does it become cultural appropriation?

  5. sweet cryst, i look like st patrick no joke. No wonder I can never pet a snake

  6. to the best of my knowledge: There is some research that suggests St patrick was born along a specific part of a river bank that is only found in scotland. There is a claim that he could have been born in either govan or clydebank in glasgow. but no one will ever know for sure.

    In school I was taught he was welsh.

  7. The real question is how is Irish Stew light refreshment?

  8. Trying to claim Cú Chulainn worked out well for them.

  9. Why exactly cause someone’s views don’t align with u

  10. I am here for the “free Ireland” stew and light refreshments

  11. St Patrick was born in Wales and probably thought of himself as Romano British. He definitely wasn’t Scottish.

  12. Maybe add in cawl, laverbread, bara brith and **Welsh** rarebit to the menu, to celebrate Ireland’s Welsh Saint properly.

  13. St Patrick was a Roman, most likely from Bannaventa (Bannavem Taburniae) near modern day Carlisle.

    Modern politics do not apply

  14. Who was it a few years back that claimed Patrick was a prod, despite having lived hundreds and hundreds of years before reformation?

  15. The story that I heard from a Scotsman- The village of Old Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton in Scotland, is known for its association with St. Patrick, with the village’s name even interpreted as “Patrick’s Church”. St. Patrick is believed to have had Romanized British parents, and was captured by Irish raiders in his youth while minding sheep and taken to Ireland as a slave. However, the more likely birthplace is around the Roman area of Antonine Wall, not specifically in Old Kilpatrick. There is a local well called St. Patrick’s well, attributed to St. Patrick, which is in the area of Old Kilpatrick. The ancient kingdom of Strathclyde was a Brittonic, or Welsh-speaking kingdom in what is now northern England and southern Scotland, known as the “Hen Ogledd” (Old North) by the Welsh. So in some way, St Patrick was indeed Welsh!

  16. Paddy’s day stopped being about St. Patrick a LONG time ago.

  17. Even if he came from that area, Scotland wasn’t invented. But he probably didn’t anyway.
