Saint Patrick's Day
Any thoughts out there on St. Patrick's Day?


Should this be celebrated in the apostolic churches?
I believe it's a Roman Catholic and
Anglican "thing" but I'm not sure.

I'll do some more research on it.

Re: Saint Patrick's Day
I don't know why it would be celebrated by the church.

I think the same as you,
but some think differently and I like to know why.

I believe that St. Patrick's Day is an issue of personal conviction... and an issue of absolute necessity for us Irish saints of God. lol

It does celebrate the advent of Christianity being preached to the Irish for the first time.

  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

It involves some fantastic stories like driving snakes out. Personally I believe this is a RCC political move to try to make Ireland a RCC bastion the way they did with south America and their 'indianized' Virgin Mary
