Pious legend credits Patrick with banishing snakes from the island, though all evidence suggests that post-glacial Ireland never had snakes;[39] one suggestion is that snakes referred to the serpent symbolism of the Druids of that time and place, as shown for instance on coins minted in Gaul (see Carnutes), or that it could have referred to beliefs such as Pelagianism, symbolized as “serpents”.[citation needed][when?] Legend also credits Patrick with teaching the Irish about the concept of the Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a 3-leaved clover, using it to highlight the Christian belief of 'three divine persons in the one God' (as opposed to the Arian belief that was popular in Patrick's time).I know you all too well my friend!!!!lol
You Got It!!! LOL!! I love me some folklore & myths!!
Hey, you cannot have Irish blood in ya and not be superstitious!!!

Barrett said he would pray to St. Patrick to send the snakes back to Ireland;-) I told him to wait until after we visit there!!
FUNNY! we need to keep the snakes around so "BEAR GRYLLS" will have a snack.
