Conerning Saint Patrick Renaissance by Joseph's Studio
8:31 AM PST, 2/27/2008
This history of St. Patrick's Celebration on March 17 is credited to International Wholesalers and Dropshippers' product description of St. Patrick Renaissance. I hope you gain as much insight about St. Patrick's Day as I as you read through the article.
About Saint Patrick's Day
Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated each year on March 17th. In Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day is both a holy day and a national holiday. Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland as he was the one who brought Christianity to the Irish. According to legend, Saint Patrick used a shamrock to explain about God. The shamrock, which looks like clover, has three leaves on each stem. Saint Patrick told the people that the shamrock was like the idea of the Trinity - that in the one God there are three divine beings: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The shamrock was sacred to the Druids, so Saint Patrick’s use of it in explaining the trinity was very wise. Although it began in Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated in countries around the world. People with Irish heritage remind themselves of the beautiful green countryside of Ireland by wearing green and taking part in the festivities. Saint Patrick’s Day is usually celebrated with a parade. The one in Dublin, Ireland is known to some as the Irish Mardi Gras. But the one in New York City is actually one of the biggest. It lasts for hours. Two Irish wolfhounds, the mascots of the New York National Guard infantry regiment the “Fighting 69th”, always lead the parade. More than one hundred bands and a hundred thousand marchers follow the wolfhounds in the parade. Saint Patrick and the Snakes: Another tale about Patrick is that he drove the snakes from Ireland. Different versions of the story, tell of him standing upon a hill, using a wooden staff to drive the serpents into the sea, banishing them forever from Ireland. One version says that an old serpent resisted banishment, but that Patrick outwitted him. Patrick made a box and invited the snake to enter. The snake insisted it was too small and the two argued. Finally to prove his point, the snake entered the box to show how tight the fit was. Patrick slammed the lid closed and threw the box into the sea. Although it’s true that Ireland has no snakes, this likely had more to do with the fact that Ireland is an island and being separated from the rest of the continent the snakes couldn’t get there. The stories of Saint Patrick and the snakes are likely a metaphor for his bringing Christianity to Ireland and driving out the pagan religions (serpents were a common symbol in many of these religions).Submitted by

About Me
This is me.
Hi. I'm Brian Moore, and I own Down Home Crafts and Such, the eBay store for sundry handmade factory assembled home decor products, memorabilia, soaps, andles, home and garden decor, and more.
I am retired from the cusomer service field, and I became interested in eBay through their television advertising. I started out by buying a few collectibles to sell and by making some wood crafted items. You'll find some of them in the store. Then I progressed to buying more items in bulk and offering reasonable prices on both individual and lot auctions. To date over $1,000 in inventory has been won by the bidders, which I appreciate greatly. Delivery is prompt and charges reasonably priced. A look at my feedback on eBay will show what I mean.
Please visit Down Home Crafts and Such and see for yourself the variety of the over 80 items to choose from. They are of the highest quality availablle. I hope to see you soon and that you spread the word. Thanks for looking!

The Folk Art Santa
The first Folk Art Santa was fashioned by a skilled artisan around 1987 as a special holiday gift for his wife. Since she was an artisan as well, the next year they worked together to produce Santas as holiday gifts for their family and friends. Soon these matchless inventions became a favorite family tradition.
Around that time there was a general upsurge in the folk art movement, and the Folk Art Santa soon became the most emulated Christmas art form anywhere. Its popularity was overshadowed by few concepts besides Santa Claus himself.
In the Folk Art Santa at Down Home Crafts and Such Auctiva, that tradition is borne out. Every detail is carefully seen to before the mold is cast, and the colors are meticulously painted on. The finished Santa is then packed and shipped with as much care as with the making of it.
When you purchase it from me, I will double pack its box into a larger box and fill the larger box with packing foam. You will receive as beautiful a Christmas memento as you will get this year.
Come visit us for your Christmas treasures and many other quality products at reasonable prices.
Happy Shopping!
