cheisty walton on 03 Dec 13For 30 years of his life, St. Patrick brought hope and optimism in the lives of Ireland, by establishing churches and monasteries across the country. The day of his death, March 17, 461 A.D., has since been a day for the Irish to celebrate the divinity of the saint for converting the pagans to Christianity: driving the snakes (symbolic of evil) from Ireland. From then onward, the celebration has spread worldwide thus making the event a grand celebration.
