As well as being the founding father of Christianity in Ireland, St. Patrick was also a mystic who had visions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory on a small Irish island called "Station Island". Supposedly, he was kidnapped by pirates, but in actual fact, they were not human.
Personally, I believe that Station Island was an alien base in the 5th century dedicated to the conquest of Earth. St. Patrick (nee Maewyn Succat) was supposed to be the Christ-like figure who would assist in its conquest.
Like Moses, St. Partick escaped from his abductors and turned to the real God for direction and empowerment. God gave him a special staff that had a green shamrock at the top. With his faith and his divine gift, St. Patrick exorcised "the snakes"(i.e. the evil ones from Ireland) and convinced many natives of the power of God.
Even today, the Irish regard Ireland as a little bit of Heaven on Earth.
On March 17, everything that is Irish is celebrated. However, lets remember the victory of St. Patrick over powerful evil forces, as well.
