Reply To: St. Patrick’s Day

Dowrgi,
Greetings.
Let’s play that again.
I recall that some Druids in other parts of the Celtic world were made saints. Some of those names appear at churches in the area they came from.
But, but; we were talking about St. Patrick and the Irish problem or more precisely St Patrick’s Catholic problem with the Druids.
The past is murky especially when the written word is so scarce and derivative. What do we really know? Patrick was an escaped slave that converted to Christianity and traveled to Ireland to spread the gospel to the heathen therein. He seems to have been successful in his mission. You really have to admire his zeal, his methods less so.

Peace and Harmony
