I concede that a Catholic Encyclopaedia would be
unwilling to acknowledge that the Churches of
Ireland and England had been honoring St Patrick
for centuries <he grins>. Again, his feast day
is noted in the early Books of Common Prayer,
both that of 1549 and the later one of 1562, and
also by Archbishop Laud in his revisions in the
1630's, which became the ordinal for the Church
of Scotland of the era and the basis for the Book
of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church of the United States.
The Irish communities in Liverpool and north
Wales were recorded as celebrating St Patrick's
Day shortly after Elizabeth came to the throne,
and they may have done so earlier under Bloody Mary.
