Awesome video, it's nice to hear the real stories of people like this that spent their lives doing things like starting schools and churches to help the poor.
We watched this multiple times in primary school and now it is still very helpful in high school for writing information and small biographies about him, this video is very good.
Personally, I think St. Patrick's day should be a day of devout study and dedication to the one thing that inspires you most. Like Patrick devoted his life to learning about his beliefs for 12 years. You love history? Study it on that day without any distractions. You love Theology? Study it and pursue it. You love music? Same thing. Study it and learn more about it on that day. That's just coming from someone who loves to learn... Its interesting. Patrick wasn't even Irish and was a bishop, so he most likely didn't even drink lol.
Saint Patrick spent a lot of his time in what is now called Northern Ireland, on top of Mount Slemish in County Antrim. It is believed he is buried in County Down.
One of my k5 students or maybe he was a 1st grader, I don't recall his actual grade, but he used to call me PATRICK! I told him my name and he would just say PATRICK smile and laugh! Before I arrived in the room, he used to be a runner, but he never ran when I was there! He always said, "Help me Patrick!" LOL
To say Patrick became a Christian while a slave needs some clarifying- he was born into a devout catholic family (in what is now England) but didn’t “own” his faith until his late teens when he was abducted into slavery in Ireland.
Gacha Lisa,I did and proud of my Irish ancestor James Patrick Gaynor who came to America from Ireland early 1800's! Blessings from Philadelphia, Pa to you Happy Saint Patrick's Day and don't drink and drive.Stay Strong and Stay Well!
His father was a tax collector. Passed on the job to him but he (St. P) avoided it at all cost because it was the most dangerous and STRESSFUL JOB to have at that time.. He got captured during a raid, became a slave, and then escaped. He lived to thank the most highest and devoted his life to find other humans in this world to find a peace within their hearts like he did. The "ah ha!" moment. Because we all know stress kills.. Heart disease is the leading cause of natural death in the world.. And so it brings me to this. God wants us to chill. Stop stressing. Be kind , rewind and pass on the good word. 👍 Thank you St. ARNOLD.👊 🤘🍻
It does not matter to me when he was born and died, the important thing is he had done something that can inspire the life of someone, even if it's only coming together to eat and have a party. Whatever I want out of a situation I will find it and focus on that one thing whether positive or negative. It all depends on my mindset so I try to focus on the positives. HAPPY SAINT PATRICK's to those who are celebrating it.
This heresy was first confessed in the first season of the cartoon program "Voltron", where five robot lion cars merge together to form one giant robot samurai. Obviously, Patrick!
Just another religious feast day (i.e St. Valentine, Christmas, etc.) of the Church that our society has shamelessly turned into a secular, consumer driven reason to party and commercialize.
thegorn68 well the mass beatings of non believers went away with the invention of the gun. No need to work up an appetite when your intended victim takes one hit from a piece of lead rather than a few hundred by a dozen fists and feet
Hey I would rather it be the holiday it is today, rather than what it used to be, at least now it is no longer the celebration of a man (if you can call him that) who gladly as you say "drove the snakes out of ireland" and helped to quite literally kill a culture and society and wipe it off of the face of the Earth simply for not believing in his magic sky fairy
Christians stole and distorted Easter and Christmas from Pagans in the first place, so frankly, it's only fair that we heathens take our rightful cultural property back. And then some, to make up for centuries of oppression and outright genocide (druids, healers, medicine women...).
Those holidays have arguably become more than they were when they were purely church feast days. They actually mean something to people now. St Patrick's day is now a day where Irish people everywhere celebrate their heritage St Valentine's day is now a day to celebrate the person who means the most to you. Christmas is a day to celebrate family and the kindness of giving. Halloween is a day to celebrate fun in general. Can't you see how these holidays have far more meaning to people than they used to? Also Christmas was stolen from the Romans (originally Saturnalia) and Halloween was stolen from the Irish Celts (originally Samhain)
@@lizardlegend42 The point is that the true meaning of these days has been lost. Who said Christmas was never a day for family and giving in the first place? It is meant to represent the day Christ was born, so a day of joy and remembrance. It was always a time to give because the Wise Men gave gifts to Christ, so we are also meant to share and give to others out of love. St Patrick's day was also always a day for Irish people to celebrate their culture and heritage as St Patrick is a big part of their culture and influenced them a lot. As for Halloween, as day of "fun" isn't really meaningful. St Valentine's day was always about love. St Valentine used to show love, not romantic love but brotherly love to all people. He ministered to persecuted Christians in the Roman Empire (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Valentine). So as you can see, all these 'church feast days' actually were much more than that. They were not only a day to remember a particular person, but everything they did in their life which embodies many themes, whether it be love, sacrifice, cultural/religious influence, etc. All the things that these days have become have merely expanded on what they originated as. The only bad thing is the way they have been commercialised and turned into merely a way for governments to make money and people to have fun. In this way their true meaning has been lost.
The blue/green thing might be because those colours were often colexified in ancient languages. This means people used the same word for those two things. That's why we get etymological oddities like bluegrass.
wow these are popular, having little mistakes in a video really help! we are all human and that works both ways i hear a voice in my sleep as well, it says make videos for kids on the tube!
Nice synopsis. Just showed my hs class this video on St. Patrick's Day and it gave us some great info! At least you mentioned the snake thing because my students thought I was nuts...
Patrick was sent to drive out the Druids because they didn't except the Christianity program. The Druids wore a headpiece with a snake figure on it. So it was said he drove out snakes, not true. After he killed and raped and returned home he was given the name of St. Patrick for doing such a good job.
Roman- British is the best term. If you study him academically no doctor or scholar will ever tell you he's welsh because that's all just guess work and theories, you can really only trust his own writings when it comes to facts about his personal life and he only ever call himself a Roman Briton.
St. Patrick (387-493) was born in Kilpatrick, Scotland, to Roman-British parents. He was kidnapped by Irish raiders at the age of sixteen and sold as a slave to a Druid high priest. He worked as a shepherd and spent much time in prayer as he labored in the fields. He also acquired a perfect knowledge of the Celtic language and the Druid cult, which later enabled him to evangelize the Celtic people. After six years of slavery, an angel told him to flee his oppressive master and return to his native land. Upon returning to Britain, Patrick desired to devote himself to God's service. He went to France and placed himself under the direction of St. Germain, who ordained him a priest and sent him to evangelize the pagans in Ireland. St. Patrick devoted the rest of his life to converting the island to Christianity. He was ordained a bishop and himself ordained many priests. He divided the country into dioceses, held local Church councils, founded monasteries, and urged the people to greater holiness. He suffered much opposition from the Druids and occult magicians, who, threatened by Christianity, conjured demonic power to defy Patrick. However, the prayer, faith, fearlessness, and episcopal authority of Patrick triumphed, and he was so successful in his endeavor that in the Middle Ages Ireland became known as the Land of Saints, and himself the "Apostle of Ireland." Later, the missionaries sent from Ireland to Europe were largely responsible for the Christianizing of the continent.
Yes, if you aren’t Christian you don’t have the holy spirit. He did help the Irish, and paganism is satanism, pagans just go around burning people alive and worshipping trees.
If only you would speak a little slower... I mean, I can manage to understand you, but I wish I could show your nice video to my ESL student...you speak too quickly!
+Mark Massey, Thanks, I never knew... however, 0.5 makes this guy sound as though he put the speed away just long enough to toss down a few green brewskies... if you know what I mean... I wish there were a volume setting "in between"... Now, I'm feeling a bit like Goldilocks...
Lude Crestfallen Pagans then? Actually pretty much all of Ireland were Celtic Druids at the time, so that would be a pretty tall order for one men. I really wish history were that simple.
Lude Crestfallen I think Ireland would probably be more interesting now if it had stayed pagan, but the reality is not all these mass conversions were the result of straight killing. In this case it probably had more to do with the political benefits of converting to the religion of the Roman Empire. This would mean trading opened up, riches and state of the art technology would be imported. There was a lot of appeal to converting and most of it had little to do with the Christian religion itself.
hi!! you probably don’t remember this or are completely logged out of this account, but i hope you’re doing good!! and by the way, my history teacher used this video :) ❤️
Driving snakes out of Ireland was a metaphor for driving sin out of the country. The snakes that were supposedly banished were the pegan gods that were being worshiped in Ireland at the time.... Pesky Pegan Snakes! :P
St.Patrick was a Native Briton(Modern day Welsh) and went to the same University as St.David, the patron saint of Wales. btw The name Patrick originates from Wales.
Yes st patrick was from banwen south wales he studied at the christ college near Llantwit major originally called llanilltud fawr which was made of mostly marble by the way Christianity reached wales in ad 35 through joseph of arimathea then centuries later Ireland through st patrick the holy family fled to wales after the crucifiction not France
Most learned historians now agree that St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland, was born in the year 387 at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton. Which is in Scotland. Making Ireland's patron saint ..Scottish. As seen in the video, his primary colour of association was blue - which is Scotland's national colour of association, which fits well, it certainly was not green like Ireland's was, he was re-dressed and romanticised as Irish and green associated courtesy of 19th century Irish myth made fairy tales.
As someone from ireland I don't understand why any self respecting irish person who's proud of there heritage could even think about celebratin saint patrick's day, I mean think about it we celebrate a british colonizer who wiped out or people's native culture and traditions and forced our ancestors to convert to christianity, to me It makes about as much sense as a native american celebrating columbus day

We watched this multiple times in primary school and now it is still very helpful in high school for writing information and small biographies about him, this video is very good.
Careful using information from this video there's a lot of little mistakes
have a happy Saint Patricks day from over here in Ireland
They have polluted his historical mission of God ON PURPOSE with the degradation of green beer and leprechauns, Man is truly evil.
Hello
Thank you
Personally, I think St. Patrick's day should be a day of devout study and dedication to the one thing that inspires you most. Like Patrick devoted his life to learning about his beliefs for 12 years. You love history? Study it on that day without any distractions. You love Theology? Study it and pursue it. You love music? Same thing. Study it and learn more about it on that day. That's just coming from someone who loves to learn...
Its interesting. Patrick wasn't even Irish and was a bishop, so he most likely didn't even drink lol.
look we need every excuse to have a drink over here, it rains all day so we look forward to going to the bar lol
It's a pre-St. Patrick's Day Celebration.
Saint Patrick spent a lot of his time in what is now called Northern Ireland, on top of Mount Slemish in County Antrim. It is believed he is buried in County Down.
i was brought here for school but gosh damn! i actually was intrigued by this.
He was actually born in 385 AD
@DonataII Awww thanks, that means a lot. I'm currently in a daze, having had no sleep in over 24 hours, and I'm glad that someone enjoyed it. :-)
In French? Plz
💚 HAPPY ST PATRICK! ☘️
Check our video! The Chicago River is green! you’ll love it! 💚💚💚

Before I arrived in the room, he used to be a runner, but he never ran when I was there! He always said, "Help me Patrick!" LOL
I miss him.
The whole "driving snakes from Ireland" meaning is.. the druids were the snakes because the celtic druids had snake tattoos on there arms etc.
St. Patrick reminds me of so many people in the BIBLE like Joseph, Paul and even Jesus!
Idk jesus went on to kill hundreds of people because they wouldn't convert to christianity.
@@adolfosegura9061 bruh, Jesus didn't kill people, he got killed while trying to tell people about God
Happy St. Patrick’s day ☘️
We have to watch this for a school project...

To say Patrick became a Christian while a slave needs some clarifying- he was born into a devout catholic family (in what is now England) but didn’t “own” his faith until his late teens when he was abducted into slavery in Ireland.
I really enjoyed watching this! Thanks for all the hard work you put into it - it's very nicely done. ^_^
I always thought he blew his magic flute and chased all the snakes out of Ireland.
solid work my dude! I appreciate this

I learned something new today that I never knew about... well maybe I did in school about him but forgot about it, but that's not the point XD
His father was a tax collector. Passed on the job to him but he (St. P) avoided it at all cost because it was the most dangerous and STRESSFUL JOB to have at that time.. He got captured during a raid, became a slave, and then escaped. He lived to thank the most highest and devoted his life to find other humans in this world to find a peace within their hearts like he did. The "ah ha!" moment.

he was welsh
Roman- British is the best term. If you study him academically no doctor or scholar will ever tell you he's welsh because that's all just guess work and theories, you can really only trust his own writings when it comes to facts about his personal life and he only ever call himself a Roman Briton.
His name is welsh for starters
St. Patrick (387-493) was born in Kilpatrick, Scotland, to Roman-British parents. He was kidnapped by Irish raiders at the age of sixteen and sold as a slave to a Druid high priest. He worked as a shepherd and spent much time in prayer as he labored in the fields.

Fun fact he used the shamrock when teaching to represent the holy trinity.
This is fantastic! I will be showing it to my P5 class tomorrow (9years old).
Mia Maria well if you do show that to your mind you'll be showing some false stuff
can we discuss the genocide of the pygmie tribe of which he apparently had a hand in?and the origins of the lephrecan?
Hell no, that topic might offend a ton of people, they'd rather hear about magical leprechauns, four leaf clovers and mystical flying dragons...😭😭😭
you mean the pygmie tribe that didn't exist in Ireland and never has?
we gonna ignore how if he was born in ad 35 and died in ad 461 he would be hundreds of years old-
Praise God for Patrick. The Lord is good.
(Btw, A.D. 35?)
Wow, born in AD 35 and died about 400 years later. That IS a miracle. ;)
You better check yourself... "Helping the irish" now let's have the perspective of all the Pagans he "helped" convert.
Yes, if you aren’t Christian you don’t have the holy spirit. He did help the Irish, and paganism is satanism, pagans just go around burning people alive and worshipping trees.
Live long Paganism! Even through Tranhumanism during the now 4th Industrial Revolution.
It’s 2023, dude. Go cast a spell in the woods with your other neo-pagan buddies, Gandalf.

Wait a minute. Patrick was born in AD 35 and died in AD 461? So he lived 426 years? And was retired from the age of 64 or so? I don't think so.
He was born around 430 AD
Jeremiah inserted a correction. It seems that he is human.
Tamar Harrington 385
He died when he was 29 is the proper answer
Tamar Harrington -Poor historical research, or fake news!
Good job! This video really helped me for a Bible Quiz that I had to attend...
Bullshit. Patrick murdered them.
He murdered who?
kaguth "Snakes" of course. Also he took the Leprechauns gold.
Lude Crestfallen Pagans then? Actually pretty much all of Ireland were Celtic Druids at the time, so that would be a pretty tall order for one men. I really wish history were that simple.

What about the pagans that refused and how they were slaughtered
never happened
Most learned historians now agree that St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland, was born in the year 387 at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton. Which is in Scotland. Making Ireland's patron saint ..Scottish.
As seen in the video, his primary colour of association was blue - which is Scotland's national colour of association, which fits well, it certainly was not green like Ireland's was, he was re-dressed and romanticised as Irish and green associated courtesy of 19th century Irish myth made fairy tales.
