Irish Thought for May 26...

Timeline of Ireland

432 A.D.

St. Patrick arrived in Ireland.  St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland.  His day of celebration has become a celebration for Ireland. 

St. Patrick was rumored to have driven all snakes out of Ireland.  Many scientists argue that there is no proof that snakes ever existed in Ireland, but for many believers the scientists lack of proof equals lack of proof for disbelief.  In other words, all people know for sure is that there are no snakes in Ireland, but there are in Scotland which is but a hop, skip, and jump away.  When people become loved and admired, stories of wonder abound.


St. Patrick also is made famous the clover by using it to explain the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
