Saint Patrick ran off the snakes from Ireland. What most people don’t know the snake is a Pagan symbol, and they are referred to in the Saint Patrick mythos are not meant in the literal sense, but refer to Pagans; i.e., Saint Patrick drove the Pagans (specifically, the Celts) out of Ireland (although it could be said, and has been argued, that much has been done in Saint Patrick’s name, but he was unimportant). So what is celebrated on Saint Patrick’s Day with drinking and much cavorting is, ironically, the spread of Christianity throughout Ireland and the subjugation and conversion of the Celts. It wasn’t arbitrary that the day honoring Saint Patrick was placed on the 17th of March. The festival was designed to coincide, and, it was hoped, to replace the Pagan holiday known as Ostara; the second spring festival which occurs each year, which celebrates the rebirth of nature, the balance of the universe when the day and night are equal in length, and which takes place at the Spring Equinox (March 22nd this year). In other words, Saint Patrick’s Day is another Christian replacement for a ancient Pagan holiday; although generally speaking Ostara was mostly replaced by the Christian celebration of Easter (the eggs and the bunny come from Ostara traditions, and the name “Easter” comes from the Pagan goddess Eostre). ----------- So, what Christian wants to celebrate this Pagan holiday? I wore green on this day not even knowing it was another satanic day. Im glad Ive been set free!!! ---------- Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. ---------- In rebuilding my temple: not to celebrate anything this world has to offer. But Christ and Christ alone. For he is what will raise me. Come out from the world and be a separate people.
