But, I have to say, I love the first definition of saint in the dictionary:<br /><br /> A person sanctified; a holy or godly person; one eminent for piety and virtue; any true Christian, as being redeemed and consecrated to God.<br /><br />May we all be worthy ...SouthLakesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822510653198676631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-26032491691258182782011-03-17T21:44:38.773-04:002011-03-17T21:44:38.773-04:00I didn't know most of this.

And I have the red hair and fair skin to prove it! But I must confess, I didn't know all this about St. Patrick - thanks again for the info.<br /><br />(By the way, I'm listening to Celtic Woman today - are you familiar with them? They're amazing - check them out on YouTube.)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v28is4jFWeoethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-5302299340166129522011-03-17T12:47:57.802-04:002011-03-17T12:47:57.802-04:00Hubs has Irish on his side, there's very littl...Hubs has Irish on his side, there's very little on my side.
