Odd thing about patron saints not coming from the lands they represent. St Patrick was born in England and captured by Irish pirates. St Andrew was born in Galilee and never set foot in Scotland. St Denis of France (one of many French patron saints) was born in Italy. Strange bunch when all's said and done.
