How and Why of
St. Patrick's
Day

Today is St. Patrick5s Day
and is set apart to honor the
patron saint of Ireland. st.
Patrick of Patricius III said to
have been born near the site OF
Fitzpatrick, Scotland. His zeal
prompted him to cross the chan
mel for the conversion of the
pagan Irish and his arrival in
the Emerald Isle is generally
conceded to have taken place
between 40 and 460 A. D.
His religious endeavors were
crowned with great success and
he established il various partn
Of ireland a number of schools
and monasteries Nennius states
that his missions continued 40
years and various miracles are
attributed to him. Among them
the most notable and the one
which has come on down the
generations is the story of his
expulsion of all snakes and
venomous creatures from Ireland
MANY of this day and age are
inclined to believe this fanci-
full tale, as ireland is noted for
her absence OF all reptiles. st
Patrick lived to a ripe, old age
and his complete works were
published by Sir Jameq Ware
