Saint Patrick and the Beasts of Ireland

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all who celebrate!

Today’s warm up features the titular saint and some extinct creatures of Ireland: Scelidosaurus, Megaloceros and the Great Auk.

Of the three, the Great Auk would have been the only one that the Saint would have lived during his lifetime, as they were common throughout Europe during the Fifth Century.

All the sadder that they couldn’t make it to the modern day.

So, just to be clear...

According to folklore, leprechauns wear red.

The color traditionally associated with St. Patrick and Ireland is blue.

So why are we supposed to wear green today?

The Spiral (1900)

"Not quite a Wall of Death, but this must surely have been quite a thrilling act for audiences at Lloyd's Circus nonetheless." - National Library of Ireland.

This was likely taken in Waterford. The circus toured both Ireland and Britain.

A slightly lesser known story about St Patrick is his encounter with Caoránach, a large olliphéist and mother of demons, who was banished to Loch Dearg
