St. Patrick's Day: From a Roman Slave to a Global Celebration

Описание: Every year, millions celebrate a British man who was kidnapped as a slave — and most have no idea. The snakes? Never existed. The shamrock? Added 1,200 years later. The green? Originally blue. This is the real, surprising, and deeply moving history of St. Patrick's Day — from a cold hillside in Roman Britain to a snowy pub in Japan.
