He Was British, Not Irish! And Other Things You Didn't Know About ... (CALIFORNIA)

According to Dan Melia, there are a lot of myths about Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

“An angel came to him in a dream and said, your friends in Ireland—meaning the people with whom he was enslaved—want you to come back,” explains Melia. According to Melia, Patrick was born a minor nobleman in what is now England, or perhaps Wales or Scotland, which at the time was part of the Roman Empire. Patrick’s Day was like Sunday in Ireland—a holy day on which families went to church and the pubs were only open for three hours. There were occasional parades and festivities in Dublin and other bigger cities, but, according to Melia, the first St. When Patrick was 15 or 16, he was taken by Irish raiders and sold into slavery in Ireland. Melia immediately became interested, and to the surprise of his parents, made a career out of it. He was in bondage for about six years until he managed to escape on a trading ship. and second, the Patrick that we seem to find everywhere else, in copious medieval and modern biographies, encyclopedias, and wiki entries.” “First, the Patrick who appears in the two genuine Patrician documents … Confessio is a spiritual autobiography, while Letter to Coroticus denounces British mistreatment of Irish Christians. When Melia asks his students when they think he lived, they often guess as late as 1200 A.D., but it was actually several hundred years earlier. While his family were 19th century Irish immigrants to Fall River, Massachusetts, they never made a big deal out of St.

Hercules also had the Irish “gift of gab,” was friendly with many British officers, and was well positioned to funnel information to Washington’s ragtag Continental Army. Fans of the movie, “National Treasure,” will recall it was featured in the film. When war came, Mulligan’s tailor shop was well established, and his friend Alexander Hamilton, whom Hercules had lobbied to join the “Sons of Liberty” cause, recommended the Irishman to serve as a spy. In fact, Hercules even joined the “Sons of Liberty” – a secret political organization that plotted behind the scenes to overthrow the British in America. Hercules was sympathetic to calls for separation, strongly influenced by his family witnessing the heavy-handedness of British rule and discrimination in Ireland. The Mulligan family were actually Episcopalians, but decided to escape the heavy-handedness of their government and emigrate to America.

Mais c’est véritablement dans les années 1990 que la Saint-Patrick devient un festival de célébration et de promotion de la culture irlandaise, sur initiative du gouvernement. La fête chrétienne de la Saint-Patrick, célébrée tous les ans le 17 mars, est reconnue en Irlande comme une fête légale depuis 1607. La fête ayant lieu pendant le Carême, la tradition pour les croyants est de rompre le jeûne à l’occasion de la Saint-Patrick. À la mort de Saint Patrick, l’Irlande est devenue majoritairement chrétienne. Célébrée depuis le début des années 1600, aujourd'hui, la Saint-Patrick est pour beaucoup l'occasion de se retrouver autour d'une bière pour festoyer et célébrer l'Irlande. Il fonde l’Eglise d’Irlande, dont il pose les canons et la discipline, et sillonne l’Irlande en semant évêchés et monastères, jusqu’à sa mort aux alentours de 461.
