He was Japanese earlier?

He was actually Scottish... born Maewyn Succat around 385 in Kilpatrick, Scotland

One of four or five possible birthplaces and besides which it's in Dumbartonshire so it was not in Scotland at the time but part of the independent Brythonic Kingdom of Alt Clut.

Even if born in what is now Scotland he was no more Scottish than the Anatolian Greek St. George was Turkish.

Caught by Celtic insurgents on a human trafficking raid on North Wales.

Your irregular reminder that it was the Ice Age that expelled snakes from Ireland.

..and sea level rise that stopped snakes making it back to Ireland after the ice melted.

I've just learnt he is also the patron saint of Nigeria. Who knew!
