St. Patricks Day

Today, we"re looking out to sea from the green pastures of St Finian"s Bay in County Kerry, Ireland, to celebrate St Patrick"s Day. The country"s patron saint introduced Christianity to Ireland around the year 432, and his passing on March 17, 461, became a day of commemoration in his homeland.
