Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🍀 Don't forget to wear your green and share a picture with us! 📸 Here's a fun fact to impress your friends today: Did you know St. Patrick was kidnapped as a teenager? 😲 He lived a privileged life in Roman-occupied Britian until pirates captured him at just 16 years old! 🏴☠️ He was held in Ireland for 6 years. After gaining his freedom, he decided to stay, became a priest, and later a bishop. St. Patrick is even credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland! How cool is that?!
