Saint Patrick, played by actor Marty Burns takes a selfie along with members of the Magnus Vikings Association before they part in the cross community Saint Patrick's Day parade on March 17, 2017 in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland. Tradition holds that Saint Patrick and his companions landed at the mouth of the Slaney river, a few miles from Down Cathedral, in 432 AD. From here Patrick travelled extensively spreading the teachings of Christianity before his death on 17th March 461 AD. He is buried at nearby Down Cathedral. (Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images)
