Forget Not the Green By EVVIE KIELAR ' • Monday, will mark the anniversary of St. Patrick. who reputedly caused flying -wizards to tall"to earth, made a fire out of ice and snowballs, and drdVe the snakes forever out of Ireland. Legend has it that he used a shamrock to illustrate the unity of the Trinity. - He .has been called one of the greatest. missionaries who ever lived. Certainly no other man has had quite as many bloody battles fought to deter mine his place of birth. Conflicts also have arisen con cerning his burial 'place as well as the exact number - of- years he lived. Some historians hold that he was only 92 when he died. while others have allowed him to become 121 years old. A Vision At any rate. he was born over fifteen hundred years ago, of 4 Christian parents in Britain. At 16 he was. kidnaped by pirates and sold into bondage in Ireland. IHis second attempt at escape was successful and he made his way back to Britain. Shortly afterward, a vision warned him to return to Ireland. where he remained as a mission ary for 30 years. Hi s principal enemies were powerful Druid priests and wiz ard "physicians" who had .un botrhded influqnce. The Druids consulted with their deities through the medium of Druid Oaks, which were believed to im- Woody Herman `and his Greatest Band ever' FRIOAY, prison the "phantom gods of the earth." St. Patrick f ought wizardry with its own pitchfork. He used tactics that made him appear a superior medicine man. The shamrock is still the em blem of St. Patrick, who long ago built a roaring fire on the high est hill to defy the no-fire edict of the Druids and thereby con vert an entire people, steeped in fear and superstition, to Chris tianity. Through the centuries the sham rock has also become the Irish symbol for good luck and pros perity and the "wearing of the green" is now a universal custom for nations celebratinv, St. Pat rick's Day.
