Saint Patrick's Day
Saint Patrick’s Day
March 17th, Saint Patrick’s Day; a day to honor Saint Patrick (By the way, His name wasn’t even Patrick, it was MaewynSuccat. He became known as Patrick named after his place of burial), who overpowered Druids and chased out snakes and evangelized Ireland by explaining the triune God with a shamrock, right?
We all know the tradition to wear green on this day, but Protestants wore orange in protest of the observance of this day. Catholics believed such a person deserved to be punished, and what was out right lynch mobs against Protestant Christians simply became getting pinched.
Where does the Leprechaun comes from?
Green clad, jolly, ginger bearded elves who are obsessed with gold and playing tricks, where did they originate and what do they represent?
“Leprechauns account for some of the emphasis on green (as do the shamrocks) as these were thought to be little green men dressed in shoe makers’ clothes who hide their gold in a pot at the end of a rainbow. When people, even those “in the church” don’t know the Lord, worship, regardless of who or what is worshipped, is considered as equally valid worship. So what if you mix two religions. If you’re not born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God and therefore you cannot recognize the tragic consequences of mixing faith in Yeshua with pagan practices. Like oil and water, they don’t mix and no righteousness comes out of it. Fear, superstition and spiritual confusion result. Worst of all is that there are eternal consequences to not knowing or practicing the truth.
… wiccan was essentially nature worship. The belief is in “elementals” which are creatures that have evolved in the four elements of fire, air, earth and water. These are known as gnomes, sylphs, salamanders, and undines which are further identified as pixies, fairies, trolls, dwarfs, goblins, leprechauns, banshees, moss people, elves and fauns, and other such creatures, all of which were involved in magic and sorcery. Unknowingly, the Irish were trafficking with demon spirits, the same demon spirits that new age and occult practices involve themselves with today. According to Wikipedia – Origins of Easter, these are “light beings” which can “slip into whatever form your mind imagines as a means to communicate with your spirit.” That means there are demonic forces communicating with your spirit when you are involved with these magical entities. They are used strongly in ceremonial magic and practices of nature-worship or wicca. Leprechauns are thought to take you to their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and while the origin of this idea is unknown, it does appear to be an incantation for a spirit to produce what a greedy person desires.
All of these “elementals” answer to a Faun named Pan who is the god of the nature elementals. Pan is a man with horns on his head and a goat’s lower body, which is typically pictured as satan. Think of Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia. Pan is also known as the Egyptian Baphomet which is the sabbatical goat which is worshipped as satan at the witches’ Sabbath, which just happens to coincide with many major Catholic holy days. How come? Good old Constantine again, through his “Christianizing” pagan beliefs while he was emperor.
During the middle ages, under the church/State rule of the Roman Catholic church (the only church incidentally; it is our common heritage, Catholic and Protestant, before the Reformation), labeled Saturday as the “witches Sabbath” and persecuted all who worshipped God and His Messiah on this day. And who would those people be who would have been persecuted? The Jews, of course, and any who refused to give up the Lord’s Sabbath day. In keeping the Sabbath they were in effect taking the stand that the church had no right to change God’s laws and His times. They suffered great persecution because of it.”- Lonnie Lane https://sidroth.org/articles/leprechauns-are-not-kosher-lane/
Today it has devolved into an Irish Pride Festival and just another reason to party and get drunk.
“Celtic pagans were worshippers of nature spirits but while under Roman domination, they adopted some of Rome’s gods as well. The beer drinking that is associated with Irish pubs had its origin in worship of the Roman god Dionysius, the god of beer or ale. Beer drinking, it appears, took on religious significance. The phrase, “to drown the shamrock” means to go drinking on St. Patrick’s day and is a major part of the St. Patrick’s day celebrations, as are the parades, another part of pagan culture.” – Lonnie Lane https://sidroth.org/articles/leprechauns-are-not-kosher-lane/
It’s interesting also to note that eating greens and drinking beer was the pagan worship of Balak and Balaam, the ones who attempted to prophecy a curse on Israel and get them to stumble into pagan idolatry (Numbers 22).
Saint Patrick’s day, again, another holiday, pawned off by the Catholics as innocent fun that has a pagan and lurid past in which Believers in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus) should have nothing to do with.
