Saint Patrick

St Patrick was a Christian missionary andpatron saint of Ireland, along with Saint Brigid of Kildare and Columba.
Born on the west coast of Britain, the smallWelsh town Banwen is often referred to ashis birthplace, although there are manyhypotheses about this. When he was sixteenhe was captured and sold into slavery inIreland, from where he escaped and returnedhome to his family six years later. Then he started his religious life and returned to theisland where he had fled to preach theGospel. Converted hundreds of people, manyof them became monks. To explain how theTrinity was three and one at the same timeused the three-leaf clover and so it has an important role in Irish culture. Wassupportive of the sacrament of confessionparticular, as we know it today, whereasbefore it was held communally. A centurylater the practice spread to the rest of Europe.
The popular belief attributes thedisappearance of the St. Patrick's snakes on the island where is Ireland and the ratio at some pictures of the saint he appearscrushing these animals with his stick. Butsome evidence suggests that the post-Ice Age Ireland was not inhabited by snakes.

woman's day

nternational Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is marked on March 8 every year. Nowadays this is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. In many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the original political and human rights theme designated by the United Nationsruns strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner
