Luke Wadding and the Lesser Known History of Saint Patrick’s Day
Like all good Saint’s days, Saint Patrick’s is shrouded in mythology and speculation which does little to harm his reputation as being a real swell guy to raise our glasses to. The legend of the snakes is perhaps the story that is told most often when the 17th March rolls around. And why shouldn’t it be? After all, it has the inherent themes of danger and heroism similar to what we would find in a Hollywood movie (Samuel L. Jackson anybody?).

Unless you’ve been hiding under rock over the past few years, you have probably noticed that St. Patrick’s day has been celebrated with increased zeal each time it rolls around. Celebrated on the 17th March (sometimes it is moved by the church, though will not be again until 2160), the date is said to be that of St. Patrick’s death and is a national holiday inn Ireland. But what does the celebration really mean today?
