What people were doing in 400 AD doesnt really have anything to do with "Americanized/Romanzed" holidays... i mean, if we go there, first off, he wasnt irish, his name wasnt patrick, he was also a PAGAN...
The Irish celebratedthe day he came to ireland and his death, ... im not going to get into holiday facts here... but it was more about the life and death of the man, not what we have here in the US.
The "Holy Day' as we know it today has little or nothing to do with anything 1000 years ago...
There are Saint Patricks day Parades going on here in new Orleans... ;)
