Im Cornish so it would be St Piran

Saint Piran or Perran (traditionally in Cornwall, saints are simply named, without this title) (Cornish: Peran) is an early 6th century Cornish abbot and saint, supposedly of Irish origin.

He is the patron saint of tin-miners, and is also generally regarded as the patron saint of Cornwall, although Saint Michael and Saint Petroc also have some claim to this title.[1] Saint Piran's Flag is a white cross on a black background. Saint Piran's Day takes place on the 5th of March.

We also have St.George.

Ok. So what's so freakin special aboot St. Paddy's day anyway.?

Well, the Scots have not faced the same level of cultural discrimination the Irish have, either in their native land or in America. There weren't any "No Scots Need Apply" signs here.

The large St. Patrick's Day celebrations we now associate with the saint's feast day originated in Boston and New York, where there are large Irish-American populations. But as the nineteenth-century Irish immigrants were very much discriminated against in the U.S., St. Patrick's Day became a day to remind themselves of their pride in being of Irish heritage--an important part of their cultural identity. It has grown over the years to be an excuse for drunkenness and putting green food colouring in crappy beer, and I have no patience with any of that. But I do embrace it as a day for celebrating pride in Ireland, and her children that wound up here in the U.S.

But why not take a day to celebrate the patron saint of Scotland? I do celebrate St. Andrew's Day; likewise Burns Night on January 25th, and St. David's Day on March 1st! And, when I can remember to, St. Piran's Day on March 5th. I believe it's important to acknowledge the cultural contributions of the various Celtic nations, but then I play Irish harp, so I might be a bit biased!
