27 St. Patrick’s Day Shirts And One for Luck
Oh, St. Patrick’s Day. An intoxicating blur of comically large shamrocks, lucky horseshoes, and subliminal self-loathing… What’s not to love? Every year we dedicate a full 24 hours to the world’s largest leprechaun orgy, and as much as we love getting mindlessly drunk (and alcohol consumption statistics tell us that we love getting mindlessly drunk a whole lot), why do we celebrate the holiday? Who was Patrick and how can we thank him? Sit back, relax, and enjoy the next 190 words as we take a brief look back at the history of ole St. Paddy.
According to the premier online destination for cushioned kneelers and the vague smell of incense, St. Patrick was born in 387 in Roman Britain. Unlike Kanye’s youngest spawn, his first name was not actually “Saint,” but he did live like a complete badass. After surviving the capture of pirates at fourteen years old, Patrick found himself in Ireland as a slave and sheepherder. What was the hardest thing that happened to you at fourteen? Exactly. He eventually escaped the land of the potatoes at age twenty before returning as an ordained priest more than two decades later. Back in Ireland, he casually converted the local chief who attempted to murder him and continued spreading the Gospel for another forty years.
Because of his good deeds and BFF status with God, we honor his memory every March 17 by… getting wasted? I’m sure there is a greater meaning in there somewhere, but for now, let’s answer that last question. How can we thank dear St. Patrick? By wearing awesome t-shirts, of course! Pay homage to the patron saint of Ireland (and frat parties everywhere), and check out these real lucky tees.
