Happy St. Patrick’s day — Can you name the other three?


Well today is Saint Patrick’s day, a day for revelry and libations in many locations across the globe.

saintpatrickNow most people know that St. Pat is the patron saint of Ireland, the guy who chased all the snakes out of Eire. (Fun facts to know and tell:  St. Patrick’s real name was Maewyn Succat.  Can you imagine saddling a kid with that moniker?  I bet he was teased a lot growing up.)

The question is, can you name the other three patron saints that make up the fab four of Great Britain and Ireland?  That is to say, who are the patron saints of England, Scotland and Wales?

Tune in next time for the answers (no fair using Google).

Pau for now…
