I would not use wikipedia as a source because they do not check the accuracy of the articles.St. Patrick was born in England. Supposition is not the same as education.

I'll concede St. Patrick's heritage to you but there were no snakes in Ireland during his time! The main point as tmana pointed out is that many holidays are really made up events, conjunctions of Christian/Pagan rituals, or glamorized events. These are not necessarily bad things, as they are a part of our culture. They help to shape our personal national image. The point is that to be good citizens and guardians of our own heritage, this is one area of our lives that most people just don't pay enough attention too.

People today are so busy tring to destroy our old traditions and replacing them with what they think are modern ideas but they are just failed notions from the past.Our traditions are tried, true and accepted.Tradition has always played a major part in our history and our way of life.To just attack something because it is traditional is non-productive.Tradition is the democracy of the past, present and future.
