THE MAN’S BRITISH ROOTS RUN DEEP. St. Patrick isn’t Irish — he was born in Britain around the end of the fourth century.

After six years, he was able to escape back to Britain and returned to Ireland much later as a Christian missionary. Ireland named him the country’s patron saint after he passed away. ‘Irish I Knew That Sooner!’ 6 Fun Facts About St. Patrick’s Day
