Let us not forget, or let it be known, that St. Patrick’s Day is a Roman Holiday to celebrate the murder of Ireland’s traditional culture. The Roman Patrician (an aristocrat or nobleman), St. Patrick (meaning Patrician) drove all the snakes, i.e. Druids and Celts (traditional nature-based spiritual leaders), out of Ireland and spilled their blood in the river delta. Have joy on this day, but take the time to mourn the loss of a culture to a band of conquerors (which is not unlike our own culture).
