THE LEGEND OF SAINT PATRICK
AND THE LEPREECHAUNS

SAINT PATRICK FOUNDED HIS FIRST CHURCH. HE INVITED THE PAGANS TO HIS CHURCH TO TURN
THEM INTO CHRISTIANS. THIS MADE THE DRUIDS GET MAD AT ST PATRICK.

THEY ORDERED THE LEPRECHAUNS TO GO TO ST PATRICK’S CHURCH AND TRY TO MAKE HIS LIFE, AND
ANY OTHER THAT HAD CHANGED THEIR FAITH IMPOSSIBLE.
CHRISTIANS STARTED TO GET ANGRY AND WERE ALWAYS COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. TO STOP THEM,
PATRICK SAID OUT LOUD “IN THE NAME OF ALMIGHTY GOD I EXPEL YOU, UNCLEAN SPIRITS”.

BECAUSE OF THIS, THE IMAGE OF SAINT PATRICK IS REALLY USEFUL AGAINST LEPRECHAUNS AND TO
EXORCISE THEM.
 The leprechauns and Saint
Patrick

The druids thought of lauching a plan so their followers would return

to them and stop following Saint Patrick. They invoked the goblins to
make life impossible for the monk in Saint Patrick’ church. He
expelled the globins and the druids stoped bothering the new
parishioners
