The snakes deal is Paganism. Paganism is often represented as snakes, dragons, etc in early Christian artwork and "killing it" or "driving them out" is often a symbol of conversion to the Christian faith.
Yes, they did say that
No that’s not the answer .
@@stamps84 may I buy a vowel?
That makes sense since Satan took to the form of a serpent to persuade Adam and Eve. And since hes the epitome of evil, it makes sense that other biblically evil things would be symbolized by a snake as well.
The "Snakes" were a aboriginal tribe of Ireland. That "Saint" Patrick killed off from what I've learned just another Thankskillin holiday Americans celebrate
“...spent 6 years in ‘captivity’”. You mean slavery my guy.
please
@@haylee1928 I mean that’s what happened. History literally made another video on St. Patrick a few years prior and that’s the term they used. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
He had to keep it kid friendly 😂

Nah man I'm here because i love irish history & culture

yeah 😕
I'm always born to wear green anytime, anywhere for good ol' St. Patricks Day on March 17th for a long time.
There is a lot of information left out.
St. Patrick's day is a catholic holiday , so for long time catholics in Ireland were oppressed by the prostants. The flag of Ireland use to be all green. The current flag symbolizes the catholic and prostant ( orange) peace for most not all parts Ireland. Irish catholics were not allowed to own land , vote , participate in government, and many other things the prostants did to oppressed them.
St. Patrick was a Priest ordained by the Western Orthodox Church. Catholics named him a Saint (altho all Christians are Saints per the New Testament) but he was not Catholic!
He was never cannonized by the catholic church, meaning, he was never made a saint.
Good to know, my great grandfather was Irish so I wanted to know :)
So are Irish dominantly Catholic or Protestant?
@@hunterhobbs4374 Catholic
I’m only watching this because my teacher made us
By that I mean we’re at home cuz of coronavirus and we have to watch this for assignment
we are in the same situation 😂
Same
same xd i see this because i have to do a listening.
jajaja same
Me too...
1:25 What are you talking about ? I've seen shamrocks around my town. I call them 3 leaf clovers. ☘️
St. Patrick, pray for us!
"Sending hundreds of thousands of Irish into New York" Ellis island alone saw 3.5 million Irish enter New York City.
Ellis island didn’t open until 1890. The potato famine started 1845.
@@larrytaylor3048 yes that is correct. I was using Ellis island as an example. But if we want to be specific about only the decade following the famine (before the opening of Ellis island) New York still saw over one million immigrants. My original point still stands.
Another fact is the Protestants of Northern Ireland mostly don't celebrate it but Patrick had close links to the north, he most likely spent most of his missionary here and he formed his first church here.
it was mostly in the north he converted Pagans to Christianity
The Anglican Church of Ireland celebrate it.
It was Presbyterian scots Irish who brought the St Patrick celebrations to the US. but its now not the done thing
For Protestants to celebrate even so St Patrick is buried in the Church of Ireland Church in Downpatrick at least the British Army Irish Regiment's celebrate
they get Shamrock given to them every year even in Iraq and Afghanistan, and serving soldiers and vetrans drown their Shamrock with a pint of the black stuff,
Protestants do celebrate it
Protestants do celebrate it, it’s just the catholics hijacked it.
Though I do know why would want to celebrate the ‘cleansing’ of Celtic pagans from Ireland, it’s essentially a genocide being celebrated.
Why can't the history Channel pay for music that's not free?
"I Just bought my mom flowers for St. Patrick's Day! For the celebration!"
Thank you Jesus, St Patrick and the Catholic Church.
Patrick was not Catholic.
He was a member of the Celtic Culdee church.
They were not papist.
He didn't follow the protestant rebellion of the 16th century. He was a ROMAN, Britten. Please tell the truth.
Points out the thing with the snakes was a metaphor, then begins to explain how scientifically snakes couldn't have existed there... 🙄
Anyone who takes that literally is dumb anyway.
People can bring things over just saying
@@PandA_show the snakes still wouldn't be able to survive because it's too cold.
exactly!

A shamrock is a young sprig, used as a symbol of Ireland. Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint, is said to have used it as a metaphor for the Christian Holy Trinity. The name shamrock comes from Irish seamróg [ˈʃamˠɾˠoːɡ], which is the diminutive of the Irish word seamair óg and simply means "young clover". Wikipedia
You could have helped to write the script!
@phish I thought so. I understand it is derived from an Irish word
Saint Patrick And Saint Patrick's Day 😊☘🍀🟩⬜🟧💙💜
Thank you for sharing the video..
The only people watching this are fellow Irish, and at least 3/4ths of us already knew this.
That actually was pretty informative, thanks History!
Hi! My name is Patrick Fitzgerald and I'm from Dublin, Ireland!
2:04 "and then nothing else happened don't worry about why they throw heads of cabbage onto wrought iron fence spikes either."
Happy Sant Patrick’s day!
Pray an Never stop.
W love Joy & HAPPINES.!
what a waste of time
@@silentsupreme4874 that’s what your mom said when she gave birth to you.
@@silentsupreme4874you have the mind of a 4 year old
It's like everything we celebrate is a lie and has a bad past
Shamrocks don't exist?!?
The name shamrock comes from Irish "seamróg", which is the diminutive of the Irish word seamair óg and simply means "young clover" (the adjective follows the noun).

They were trying to denounce St. Patrick with shoddy info. Like with the snake legend bit. And they left out that he's most famous for spreading Chrisianity through out Ireland. "Religion bad but we're unbiased source of info"
St. Patrick pray for us, especially we who were named Patrick, to leave an examplary life in words and deeds.
Patrick is dead in the grave.
He awaits the resurrection.
He can neither hear nor answer prayers.
@@geordiewishart1683amen!!
Why? Patrick means noble
Saint Patrick is at Peace today now - and so it is - Blessings.
I am a descendant of Irish immigrants in America. But Christians are not supposed to worship St. Patrick, or honor him because he performed miracles through the power of the Holy Spirit, and didn't have his own powers. Exodus 20.
I love the animation!!
It's so crazy to think that my father's side immigrated from Northern Ireland in the early 1900s and have been up in Melbourne New York ever since and hes the only person that at least me and him and the rest of the family know that's left the New York area and it's so crazy to think that his family has literally just stayed in 2 places New York or Northern Ireland...

@@void9837 He is the Patron Saaint of Ireland and his bringing Christianity to the pagans of Ireland is celebrated on the 17th of March. This doesn't mean he is worshipped ! As to performing miracles, I haven't heard of any and I am Irish, living in Ireland !
Great info. Good video👍👍
A day of the most & Drinking & Parting etcl in Las Vegas topping New yrs Eve & Halloween - makes you think what Saints are All about.

I was born this day so I was curious and always wanted to know why it was a celebration day. Coincidences of life, beautiful Irish culture has always seemed magical and my favorite color has always been green
Happy St Patrick's Day! ☘️🇮🇪😎🤠💪❤️
Why do you do what you do? Now, you know. Thanks for sharing, History.
"There were never any snakes to begin with"
St. Patrick: you're welcome
There were Pagans
I watched a whole documentary that took a Long time. Bu you teached me in under 3 minutes
Greek Christianity was already in Ireland. Patrick was a staunch supporter of the Roman Rite. Many Greek/Roman Synod's, and prejudices later, Ireland became Roman Catholic.
awesome!!!
🍀Happy St.Patrick's Day🍀 Everyone
Happy St. Paddy's Day ☘️🌈🇮🇪💰
I Can Wait To See In On My TV Please

I know the history about Saint Patrick already before you did this video
History Channel has some nerve fact checking a saint, when it has a series called Ancient Aliens.
i have the impression, we're all here for the lesson of English History lol
Love the ivory Coast flag 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What's with the soundtrack? Feels like I'm watching a kid's commercial 😤
Haciendo los deberes... D,:

Yup knew and there's more unsaid
Elaborate
I love St. Patrick’s Day !
If yer not Irish then don’t bother
@@shboyleI’m Catholic. Can I still celebrate?
How long they celebrate St Patrick's day?
💚🕊
REMINDER THAT YOU STILL HAVEN'T DONE UR SAINT PATRICKS ASSIGNMENT
Tomorrow we're all Irish, but what a privilege to actually have the blood! It was actually a pagan Irish-American who showed me just how deep and mystical Irish culture is, I just happen to see it in pre-Christian AND Christian times and linking the true Irish to the diaspora. America actually has the largest Irish population on earth, both Catholic and Protestant. To go to Ireland, or this connection, I'd imagine is like what black people describe when they visit Africa and can literally feel like their roots are replanted, or how the Native Americans connect to their land. It's quite unique to have this in a white culture, that sort of ancestral connection to a land your soul is always bound to. This day is quite special for me since I was named for the Saint (really for my aunt, who was named for him lol). This year it's even deeper, looking at what's going on in Ukraine, because we suffered a very similar existence as a pastoral people dominated by a neighboring great power with genocidal intent.
I’m actually Irish and a Christian, but we’ve never really celebrated and I never really knew what it was about but it’s actually really interesting and kind of cool to know about all the different things in Irish culture and to actually be apart of it. I’m gonna cook one of my favorite Irish dishes tomorrow, that probably the most we’ve ever done for st patts but I’d like to start celebrating it more, I would love to go to Ireland some day. 🇮🇪 I definitely feel more connected to this part of me knowing more about its origins. Happy st.Patrick’s! 🍀
What exactly is there to celebrate about being Irish? They haven’t achieved anything in their history..
No closed captions?
This is a cool video, but it would be more accessible to my students if it had Closed Captions. A little Help, History Channel?
Well I know this comment was a year ago but it does now have closed captions. :)
History channel needs a visit from St. Patrick to get rid of all their "snakes"! Just saying.
Some more information on Saint Patrick (it has a few things you already said in the video):
Saint Patrick was born in England in AD 35, his name believe it or not was not Saint Patrick it wasn’t even Patrick it was “Maewyn” and his last name was “Succat”. He was captured by Ireland raiders and sold to be made a slave when he was only 16 years old. While he was a slave he became a Christian. One day he heard what he called a voice in his head telling him to leave and find a ship waiting for him. He eventually made it back to England where he decided to study in a monastery. When he became a bishop in Ireland he got the Christian name “Patricius” or “Patrick”. He traveled all around Ireland making monasteries, churches, and schools. He later died on March 17th in AD 461.
Dang. Over 400 years old? I need to be a Saint 🤔
