An Italian Holiday...

I was thinking of St. Patrick today and it occurred to me that most Italians and
those of Italian descent are not aware that Patrick was born in Italy and was
indeed an Italian..

I grew up in a small village near new york city where most of the inhabitants
were Italian and Irish..

My Italian friends appeared to be somewhat sullen and felt left out during the
festivities of St. Patricks Day..

If only they were taught the knowledge that St. Patricks Day is actually an
Italian Holiday..
