"Anceztaz of the week" - St. Patrick

Photobucket
St. Patricks Day is a yearly holiday celebrated on 17 March. It is named after Saint Patrick (circa AD 387–493), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland. It began as a purely Christian holiday and became an official feast day in the early 1600s. However, it has gradually become more of a secular celebration of Ireland's culture. Little is known of Patrick's early life, though we know he was born in Roman Britain in the fifth century, into a wealthy Romano-British family. His father was a deacon in the Church, like his father before him. At the age of sixteen he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken captive to Ireland as a slave. It is believed he was held somewhere on the west coast of Ireland, possibly Mayo, but the exact location is unknown.Originally the color associated with Saint Patrick was blue, not green.However over the years the color green and its association with Saint Patrick's day grew. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century. (This article was written and taken from wikipedia). Anceztaz Clothing is honoring St. Patrick by creating an Anceztaz shirt for St. Patrick in celebration for the irish culture. The Anceztaz St. Patrick Day shirts are limited edition, please contact anceztaz@gmail.com for preorders. Pictures will be up later this week
