A great day indeed. I think he must've sent the snakes abroad in St Brendan's curragh;-), and I'm grateful. We have a great bounty of reptiles in Kentucky indeed!!
No snakes in Ireland. That refers to his help in driving paganism out of the land...referring to it as "snakes". He wasn't Irish either. He was English. He was kidnapped from his family in the 5th century at 16 yrs. old. He later went back to England and decided to devote his life to God and helping Ireland. Talk about forgiving in the name of God and showing mercy. March 17th is the day he died.
Corned beef is cooking as we speak. Best wishes for all in whatever you're beliefs may be.
This is my 1st St.Patrick's day without my Dad.
It was his favorite time of year.I do miss him.
Happy St.Patrick's Day Dad.
Happy St.Patrick's to ALL.

from what ive read the "snakes" refers to the symbol of Gaul. it was the Druid reign at the time in ireland.
Honestly, I have read some pretty in-depth studies historically on Patrick of Ireland string tracker and I really think you have got some of your info wrong.

And the correlation to snakes and druids is that the druids believed a snake ruled the underworld and they used to make things that were called "snake eggs" they were little round decorated balls made of different materials and they were kinda good luck charms you could say.
HAPPY EASTER...HAPPY ARBOR DAY...HAPPY PIZZA DAY
Whatever. I am with You Bern, I will take any Blessing thats God Related I can get!!
Lewis...Nice replies.
Ken it is worth the fuss here or any other place when such statementns are made.
