St. Patrick - The Real Story

A clip from the film Celtic Pilgrimage: Watch the full film on ExploreFlix at www.explorefli...
When he was fourteen or so, he was captured by Irish pirates during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. At the time, Ireland was a land of Druids and pagans but Patrick turned to God and wrote his memoir, The Confession. In The Confession, he wrote:
"The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same. I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain."
St. Patrick pioneered the Gospel of Christ to the Irish during the Dark Ages and revolutionized the Celts.

[@GTX1123]

Patrick's confrontation with the druids was EPIC. Legend has it that on the eve of the pagan druid feast of Beltane, Patrick defied the strict rule that only the druid high king could light the first fire from his palace on Mt. Tara. Patrick built a massive fire on the hill of Slaine ten miles away where he knew they would see it. What followed was similar to something out of the Old Testament. When he was brought before the king to answer for this outrage and pay for it with his life, Patrick warned the druids not to oppose what God was about to do for the people of Ireland. The legends say that at one point, a druid priest levitated high up off the ground through demonic power in an attempt to scare and intimidate Patrick. Patrick wasn't intimidated in the least but remained steadfast, rebuking this demonstration of evil and instead the priest was flipped upside down and his head was smashed into the ground. Unconvinced, the druids challenged Patrick to a dual - Patrick and one of their druid priests would walk through a roaring towering gauntlet of fire on either side and whoever came out unharmed had the more powerful god. Patrick came through without a singe while the druid priest was burned alive. The druid high king was so shaken that he gave Patrick permission to petition any of the petty kings in Ireland to preach the Gospel in their kingdoms. One by one every one of those kingdom's became Christian.

@@GTX1123 Saint Patrick is a complete fiction , we even know who came up with the fake story . The Bishop of Sleaty hired a scribe named Muirchú moccu to create a fake character for Irish christianity . He was created as a cover story for the massacre of the native Pagans and Irish Druids and the forced conversion of Ireland to Christianity . We even have the stories of Croagh Patrick and the casting down of druids of the Crom Cruach . ( This was mass murder ) Meanwhile in cross patrick Saint Patrick had a run in with the druids , again Mass murder . Saint patricks magical fire at Tara , well that was Tara and hundreds of years of Irish Celtic history destroyed in one go . He never existed , the story was just that a cover story for the Genocide of the Irish and forced conversion to the Middle Eastern Abrhamic religion .

Very good! Some parts were left out, but this didn't claim to be an exhaustive history of Patrick. The only problem I have with the video is the use of "saint" as some ecclesiastical office.

All the little things that hinder, when praying fervently they come to mind. They are not always distractions. Sometimes the Holy Spirit brings them up so you repent, and cast them off you and keep praying. You are closer in intimacy with God, and the next dimension of His life is about to show in you. Don't stop, as the grip of sin breaks of you when you obey the Holy Spirit like that

Like all countries when you go and visit or live there in this case being Ireland it does not matter how many years ago this was I believe you must respect the way of life of Ireland and the Irish people and if you can't do that then you shouldn't go there in the first place I believe this guy st. Patrick had come from a middle class or upper class family in England the life that he lead in England is clearly different to the life that the Irish people live in their country he seemed to be mixed up and confused he left Ireland and then went back about 20 years later what happened after that we don't seem to know the Only Good Thing to come out of st. Patrick is that once a year it makes a lot of money for Ireland with the tourists etc and as long as Ireland is making money it's looking after its people and living a better life if I had been alive in the days off st. Patrick I would have told him a thing or two Ireland is close to my heart... from me Daniel and a special friend Kevin

Sarajevo ❤️ Sn't Patrick 🍀

[@ManWithNoName_]

St. “Patrick” didn’t return to Éire alone and benevolent. He went back with a vengeance and with the power of the Catholic Church behind him. He also did not bring Christianity to the island (his predecessor did that about 30 years before he was born). What he did on the emerald island was stabilize Catholicism by suppressing the Druidic worship that dominated the people’s religious practice at the time - and we all know how heavy handed the Church has been in their dominance through suppression, historically speaking. Thus were the “snakes” (i.e.- pagan practitioners) driven from the land. History has a way of using allegory to paint the deeds that positioned our modern institutions into positions of power in a much more favorable light than they deserve. Vatican City has always been a chief offender in terms of this particular sin. “History is written by the victors” as they say.

[@VredesStall]

Patrick's life seems to somewhat mirror that of Joseph (son of Jacob/ Israel)... particular when they are both kidnapped and sold into slavery as teenagers.

The Social Services make it impossible to adopt. They have a vested interest in ‘looking after’ the pregnant mother, or the mother and child. Careers are made over the misery of others.

"When Christianity arrived in Ireland with St. Patrick in 432 A.D., many Celtic traditions were incorporated into the “new” religion. In fact, it’s said by some historians that Catholicism was able to take over as the dominant religion on the island following the mass killing of Druids, the religious leaders of the Gaels."

St. Patrick's day is a Christian holiday. Celebrating trying to destroy another religion. No good hearted religion would have you destroy those who don't have the same practices. Most religions will teach you to have respect for all practices. Christianity is also witchcraft. Communion is proof of that. You eat the body and drink the blood of christ. If you drink wine on communion you are sinning. Grape juice is what you should be drinking for communion. BLESSED BE.
