    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.

    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. 👍

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.

    • @bronwynoshust8290

      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...).

    • @lizardlegend42
      @lizardlegend42 5 років тому +1

      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)

    • @speedepitomised
      @speedepitomised 5 років тому +2

      @@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.

    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.

      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"...

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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
