Unfortunately, all of the world’s 2020 St. Patrick’s Day celebrations have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the one in Chicago. In Chicago they typically dye the river green in observance.

Who was St. Patrick?

Saint Patrick was not born in Ireland . He was born in Scotland to Roman parents. Taken as a slave to Ireland, he lived there, escaped, and later returned as a missionary, bring the Christian Gospel to Ireland.

exploring the HEART of health

Author: Aletha Cress Oglesby, M.D.

As a family physician, I explore the HEART of HEALTH in my work, recreation, community, and through writing. My blog, Watercress Words, informs and inspires us to live in health. I believe we can turn our health challenges into healthy opportunities. When we do, we can share the HEART of health with our families, communities, and the world. Come explore and share with me.
