Christian St Patrick Day Quotes

Christian St Patrick Day Quotes

 

This movie makes a point of showing the miracles Patrick was accredited with. I only knew about the snakes leaving Ireland but it seems he was one whose boldness required God to work extravagent wonders. It shows well the foolishness of church politics when those with institutional powers try to bring down one supported by God. Patrick reminds me of Peter, Paul, John, Mary Magdalene, Philip, etc. I hadn't known he was such a firebrand. His fight against the Druids smack of Elijah vs Baal's prophets. It's quite amazing what he accomplished in his God-call and the eternal legacy he left for Europe and thus the modern world. Christians today have much to thank him for.

Christian St Patrick Day Quotes

This one of those religious films that can also be classified as fantasy because of the myths that are included in it. Overall, it is a good film but I would have liked it to be a bit more of a drama. Bergen and McDowell are fine in their roles as the title saint and his nemesis in the Catholic Church. The film does reverberate with everything that is Irish, the beautiful landscape, the spirited people, the emotionally-charged and angelic Celtic music and the rich culture that is Ireland.
