St. Patrick. The Living Legend
Description
Everyone knows that Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, and that he banished snakes from the land. But there is more to this man and the curious ways in which he is celebrated on March 17. This documentary-filmed in Boston, California, Newfoundland, and, of course, throughout Ireland-explores the origins of Saint Patrick's Day and how the tradition grew of celebrating him with parades and as a celebration of being Irish.
