Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick (Latin: Patricius; Greek: Πατρίκιος; Proto-Irish: *Qatrikias; Modern Irish: Pádraig [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ];Welsh: Padrig) was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with Saints Brigit and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Orthodox Church as Equal-to-the-Apostles, and The Enlightener of Ireland.
The dates of Patrick's life cannot be fixed with certainty but, on a widespread interpretation, he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the fifth century. He is generally credited with being the first bishop of Armagh, Primate of Ireland.
According to the Confessio of Patrick, when he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Great Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland, looking after animals, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as an ordained bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.

Saint Patrick's Saltire
Saint Patrick's Saltire or Saint Patrick's Cross is a red saltire (X-shaped cross) on a white field, used to represent the island of Ireland or Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. In heraldic language, it may be blazoned Argent, a saltire gules. Saint Patrick's Flag is a flag composed of Saint Patrick's Saltire.
The red saltire's association with Saint Patrick dates from the 1780s, when the Order of Saint Patrick adopted it as an emblem. This was a British chivalric order established in 1783 by George III. There is some evidence that a similar saltire was occasionally used to represent Ireland before this. It is often suggested that it derives from the arms of the powerful Geraldine or FitzGerald dynasty. Most Irish nationalists reject its use to represent Ireland as a "British invention".
After its adoption by the Order of Saint Patrick, it began to be used by other institutions. When the 1800 Act of Union joined the Kingdom of Ireland with the Kingdom of Great Britain, the saltire was added to the British flag to form the Union Flag still used by the United Kingdom. The saltire has occasionally served unofficially to represent Northern Ireland and been considered less contentious than other flags flown there.

The History of the Union Flag!
The History of the Union Flag and the Union Jack – What’s the difference anyway? While the flags of some countries are quite dull and boring, flags of countries such as Mozambique, which features an AK47 – we aren’t kidding here – Dominica, which features a purple parrot, Albania with it’s double-headed eagle, or Bhutan and Wales with their dragons, are far more exciting. When it comes to the Union flag – the British flag – things aren’t quite so straightforward and obvious. First off, there is some confusion over the actual name of the flag.

The History of the Union Flag and the Union Jack – What’s the difference anyway?
While the flags of some countries are quite dull and boring, flags of countries such as Mozambique, which features an AK47 – we aren’t kidding here – Dominica, which features a purple parrot, Albania with it’s double-headed eagle, or Bhutan and Wales with their dragons, are far more exciting.
When it comes to the Union flag – the British flag – things aren’t quite so straightforward and obvious.
First off, there is some confusion over the actual name of the flag.
Officially, the British flag is called the Union Flag and not, as some call it, the Union Jack.
You can forget the urban myth that the flag’s name has recently been changed because women complained that to call the flag Jack was sexist and discriminatory.
The truth is that since the creation of the first version of the flag, it has always been called the Union Flag.
The confusion over the term Union Jack comes from Britain’s seafaring heritage, and a proclamation by Charles II that the Union Flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit; the term 'jack' used to mean ‘small’.
Basically, the Union Jack is just a term for a smaller version of the Union Flag flown on naval vessels.
Today’s Union Flag is also very different to the original one.
You may already know that the flag is made up of a combination of the national flags of England, Scotland and Ireland. We’ll explain why Wales isn’t included later on.
The original Union Flag was created in 1606 after James the Sixth of Scotland inherited the English throne from Elizabeth the First on her death.
To unite the two countries under one flag, if not one parliament, he commissioned the flag of union, which comprised a combination of the English flag of Saint George, the Patron Saint of England, depicted by a red cross on a white background, with the Saltire, the Scottish flag representing Saint Andrew, the patron Saint of the Scots, depicted by a diagonal white cross on a blue background.
The resultant Union flag remained unaltered until 1801, when the Act of Union brought Ireland under the mantle of the United Kingdom.
As a consequence, the flag representing Saint Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland, a diagonal red cross on a white background, was incorporated within the original Union Flag.
Since then, the flag has remained unaltered, despite the Republic of Ireland no longer being part of the United Kingdom.
In addition, the Welsh flag is not included in the Union Flag as, when the first Union Flag was created, Wales was no longer a principality and had already been united with England.
On a final note, if you haven’t looked closely, the Union Flag isn’t symmetrical. This is because when the flag of Saint Patrick was added, it would appear superior when laid on top of the white cross of the Scottish Saltire.
Instead, the red cross of Saint Patrick was offset, with the line in the top-right quadrant lower down to indicate that Ireland joined after Scotland.
Consequently, it is quite easy to fly the Union Flag the wrong way up, but you should be ultra-careful not to, as, officially, the flag should only ever be flown upside down to indicate that you are in distress.
That has got to be one of the worst distress signals in the world as how many people, apart from you, know about this signal, and could you really spot the difference from a distance?

Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick (Latin: Patricius; Greek: Πατρίκιος; Proto-Irish: *Qatrikias; Modern Irish: Pádraig [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ];Welsh: Padrig) was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with Saints Brigit and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Orthodox Church as Equal-to-the-Apostles, and The Enlightener of Ireland.
The dates of Patrick's life cannot be fixed with certainty but, on a widespread interpretation, he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the fifth century. He is generally credited with being the first bishop of Armagh, Primate of Ireland.
According to the Confessio of Patrick, when he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Great Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland, looking after animals, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as an ordained bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.

Saint Patrick
by: James YorkstonI didn’t sleep at all last night
I thought my heart had mastered the run of these seas
But they appear not to care about calming lately
I awoke with a smart and a look at the phone.
I swear that I would have called you if I’d been sure you were alone.
And doesn’t that drive things home?
The hardest time to forget is when sleep clears your mind,
Bringing up what might have been, and who’s by her side.
And if I appear forlorn, that’s the reason truly.
Should I find myself a surrogate to keep the winters warm
Blame her for my former love and blunt her of her charms?
Oh dear Saint Patrick, I pray for some water
Jut let me quench my thirst this morning after.
And this girl by my side, well who knows the future?
But if I appear forgetful she’s the reason on my mind
If you detect a smile it’s as I dream of foreign lands
And letting things get out of hand
