What is the connection between the mysterious St. Patrick, green ceremonial ribbons, and Idaho Taverns? Welcome, seeker of knowledge, to CeremonialSupplies.com secret library in our boss’s office, where the whispers of history echo through the hallowed halls and the tales of saints and sinners fall upon deaf ears because he’s never in his office. Within the endless boxes of secret archives and manuscripts, we unearthed the true story of Saint Patrick, a figure shrouded in myth and legend, and in honor of the revered Patron Saint of Ireland, CeremonialSupplies.com presents to you a brief history of the man so powerful he drove all the snakes away from Ireland.
Born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, Patrick was originally named Maewyn Succat. The Irish pagan, barbaric tribes of the times often raided and slaughtered the people who lived in Roman-ruled Britain (which had not been unified yet), or captured them and sold them into slavery. Patrick was captured by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave when he was sixteen years old. It was during this period of hardship and solitude that Patrick's faith was forged in the crucible of adversity. In the depths of despair, he turned to the Christian God, seeking solace and salvation in prayer. In his darkest hours, he found strength in his newfound faith, and a sense of purpose began to stir within his soul. One fateful night, Patrick heard a voice in his dreams, calling him to escape his captivity and return to his homeland. Guided by divine providence, he embarked on a perilous journey across land and sea, braving the treacherous waters of the Irish Sea and the hostile lands of Druidic Ireland.
Upon his return to Britain, Patrick was reunited with his family and embraced by the Christian community. Yet, his heart remained restless; haunted by visions of the land and people he had left behind. Heeding again the call of God, Patrick embarked on a mission to return to Ireland and evangelize the pagan tribes of Ireland and bring the light of Christ to the Emerald Isle. For thirty years, Patrick traversed the length and breadth of Ireland, preaching the Gospel and baptizing converts in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Despite facing persecution and opposition from the Druidic priesthood and the tribal chieftains, he remained steadfast in his missio. Legend has it that Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish, thereby converting them to Christianity. Whether fact or fable, the Shamrock symbol of Ireland's patron saint continues to be celebrated to this day. In his later years, Patrick established monasteries and schools throughout Ireland, laying the foundations for the Christian faith to take root and flourish in the centuries to come. He is credited with banishing snakes from the island, a metaphorical triumph over paganism and the forces of darkness, although, it is true there are no species of snakes native to Ireland. Most likely due to the cold, wet, sea-washed lands that are inhospitable to cold-blooded creatures.
Saint Patrick passed into eternal glory on March 17th, in the year 461 AD, leaving behind a legacy that endures, especially, during these trying times. This year celebrate St. Patrick’s day the way the Irish have been celebrating the anniversary of St. Patrick's death since the 5th century by parading, showing off the best of the Irish, and pub crawling. Chicago used to turn green for St. Patrick’s Day Parade celebration, and so did NYC. This is no longer the case and it is sad to announce the decline of this most venerated of holidays. This is where Idaho comes in, and all their blessed taverns and pubs! Idaho tends to maintain the traditional values that made being Irish in America such a great thing! The beautiful gem state did not adhere to lockdowns, and instead became a heaven for residents of the Pacific Northwest to celebrate and feast.
