Saint Patrick (386–March 17, 493, see below) was a missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of Ireland (along with Saint Brigid and Saint Columba). He is also the patron saint of excluded people, engineers, and Nigeria, which was evangelized primarily by Irish missionaries, especially priests from Saint Patrick's Missionary Society (also known as the Kiltegan Missionaries).
He was born somewhere along the west coast of Britain in the little settlement or village of Bannavem of Taburnia (vico banavem taburniae in his Confessio), which has never been identified with certainty. Sites suggested include Dumbarton, Furness [1] and Somerset, or the coastline of Wales or northern France; another possibility put forward for his birthplace is the settlement of Bannaventa in Northamptonshire

Re: St. Georges Day or not?
Okay Okay Okay, we can't decide 100%, If Georgie boy is really English or not.
I therefore put myself forward, as definately English. Plus I am one of the few, that actually uses his real name on this board.
From this day forth, we shall celebrate St. Frank Day. Can someone call Liz & let her know.
Reg. St Frank of England.
PS. I also have a trusty weapon, in my hand.

Says he was born in Palestine, but that doesn't make sense.
