somewhat than in simple terms believing what you're instructed, why no longer imagine about both propositions rationally, watching what information there is to help one and all. . a million. a guy drove each of the snakes out of ireland 2. there have been under no circumstances any snakes in the first position Which do you fairly imagine is more advantageous in all probability?

Saint Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland and they crossed the Irish Sea and became the British, ha ha!

As best I can recall, the "snakes" were actually Druids. They were, in some circles referred to as serpents of wisdom and the tale of him driving them out of Ireland was in reference to the wholesale slaughter of the Druid priests, and as many other pagans as could be found at the time.

It's a metaphor for the early Christians driving out the pagans (druids) from Ireland.

I've never heard of that... granted I'm not Catholic but it still sounds a bit far fetched. However I did hear that he used the clover to explain the trinity to the Celts, and whenever he came across the odd four-leaf clover he used the forth leaf to symbolize God's love and grace, perhaps this is where we get the idea of the four-leaf clover as being lucky.

He didn't, I know that much. They didn't reach ireland after the last ice age because the Irish Sea formed before they got there.

he also said that the three leaf clover represents the trinity. St. Patrick that is.
