chokinonashes61 I presume you live in Cornwall so can sympathise.

was he sainted for inventing pasties ?

@@mrspone1000 i believe he was sainted for throwing a rock onto a fire, and making liquid metal come out of it

Matthew Shaw making tin come out of the rock cos it was melted.

Nissan Gtr I'm 23 and same!

I'm 56 and mine wasn't like that, I suppose it depends on what school you went to. I learned none of those stories.

Did he read Alive-O?

Me too. I'm 14. My primary school principal was a racist cunt who once told everyone in my class who wasn't Catholic that we should move school.

That isn't racism, you can't be racist against a religion. Please learn what racism means instead of doing the popular thing and apply it to every instance that you do not agree with.

His wife is from London, so I'm sure that helps.

That's the miracle then, innit?

realGeorgelucas18563 fuck up you bollox

Saint Palin can see Russia from her house !

realGeorgelucas18563 That bit of saint brigids story is copied from an italian saint who was huge in the medieval. Santa Lucia/Saint Lucy. You sussed the bollox lol

Dude the rain became the sunshine, obviouslyyyy I mean I’m catholic and I have no idea how the fuck that happened

Dara mentioned Saint Colmcille, isn't that the same one? Columba/Colmcille? All I remember about him is that he held a big holy flag or cross during battles, makes me wonder how much of the conversion to Christianity was voluntary!

as did St Columba, who introduced Christianity to Scotland.

jmorrison230582 Do Go On podcast?

@@mrspone1000 Nope but St Columba told the Loch Ness Monster to clear off and not eat any more people as well. Strangely Thats the first historical recording of Nessie.

Now that's genuinely interesting

Yes. Deduct some (more) points from Alan for saying none of them were!

Andrea Mantegna did three paintings of St Sebastian, one of which is indeed on display in Venice, where Alan said he saw it, although that one looks nothing like Alan, whereas the other two which are housed in Paris and Vienna, do resemble him somewhat. The Sodoma version is in Florence.

So if it were a pagan woman who could turn bathwater into beer that would be totally sane?

Oskar Martin he’s not saying that at all

A lot are legends... And all baptized in Christ are saints anyway.

@youcometome9 no, it's just irish myth and most of celtic myth for instance alongside germanic and norse myth at its roots are more odd and unbelievable than what Catholicism will have you believe, they just toned their eccentricity down because it would challenge the concept of God as a whole and create the risk of people idolizing their ancestors

Octavian Caesar Hibernicus Do you mean “corrupted “???

I actually learned that fact from fuckin' VeggieTales.

did he have the power to change Lava bread into something nice ?

St Paddy was from Banwen, it’s claimed.

I know this is old but, if you look at him in this photo: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Sebastia.jpg/215px-Sebastia.jpg They do look quite similar.

Our local psychiatric hospital was St. Dympna's

Iechydd dda!

to be honest St Brendan should be the most famous one

Ireland is not British.

kiara woolfe that's popular opinion but its not true. We have an indigenous concept of feminine divinity that wouldve carried over during conversion 1500 years ago thats true. Noone qualified ever said the goddess called The Brig was the same as Saint Brigid though. Thats too simple and the idea is around because unqualified people heard we have that concept of the feminine divine and thought that the names look similar. The two cults arent the same. The Brig was a goddess of a mountain people called the Brigantes. The Saints cult is in the flat wetlands in the plain of kildare. There are no water reeds in the mountains, the saints cross is all made from reeds. The stories about The Brig and The Brig is about Law, Hunting and mourning. Shes a jurist in brehon law, she invents a way of communicating through whistling when hunting and she invents keening when her son dies. Its what youd expect a goddess of a people who had to hunt and gather because no farm land to be like. The saints medieval cult was about typical generic female traits then. Minding cattle, minding the house, brewing beer, abortion, conception, beauty. Its all over emphasized femininity. Stuff youd expect from people who deliberately had a female saint instead of a male one.

And.... The probably sacrificed babies to baal before they became Christian. In fact human sacrifice was common inre Christian Ireland.

Happy to see someone bring this up. Also not an uncommon practice when bringing catholicism to new cultures.

See 'Easter' and 'Christmas', for instance.

See: Mother Teresa "Isn't she wonderful!? She did all these great things for the poor!" Um....no. She didn't.

They did it with all our ancient customs, from Scotland

In Britain, Romans built churches over Pagean shrines to force locals to pay respect to Christ. They also changed the gods to saints like you mentioned about Ireland.

Kitkat Mulan what religion are you / what religion were your parents then cause if your a prod you can get fucked

Gg Ff doesnt matter if hes a prod hes right RE is for gobshites by gobshites

Wouldn't surprise me, Christianity "borrowed" a lot of stuff from Greco-Roman and other Pagan religions

That's because the 'th' sound does not exist in modern Irish, though it did in Old Irish. BTW, Brigit was kidnapped by early Christians and made into a saint. she was originally the goddess of fire, and in the convent in Kildare there was a perpetual fire maintained by the nuns until the dissolution of Henrty VIII - quite dissolute bt all accounts.

Sound the same to you, but aren’t pronounced the same. Hour and our night sound the same to you, but they’re not pronounced exactly the same. Also thought and taught aren’t Irish, they’re English. You realise Irish is a language right?.. speaking English with an Irish accent isn’t Irish, Irish (gaeilge, NOT Gaelic) is it’s own thing with vastly different pronunciations to English

I think it depends where you went to school, I never got any of that. Though my Secondary Education/A-Levels/High School was at a catholic school, it wasn't really hammered into us, we had a religion class but it was kinda half arsed and didn't just focus on Christianity. To this day I couldn't tell you much about the church. I'm of a few generations after Dara though.

Primary school, yes. Secondary school, not so much.

Agreed

Saint Patrick was Welsh

Maybe if you go to a church school, otherwise - no.

No, even in a church school you don't learn about British saints.

Jedi Master Joe Anatolia,not Turkey

@@cv4809 now turkey

Some say he was French

Doesn't that make him roman considering Britain was around back then.

@@glensargent647 Probably. But I still don't think Irish Nationalists would like it if his birth location is in curent day England.

It was wales. The English want to change his origins but it was always wales.

Hemophilia: the not so friendly medical condition!

Agreed.

It's actually April 16th but ok

He is not alone! I think he is too good for this programme though I do like most of the panel except for the Irishman

I thought his name of Stan ...

markog1999 youre right its not hers but its taken from the life of Saint Lucy/Santa Lucia. Santa Lucias cult was huge in medieval europe. It was a regional expression of the Marian cult. The smaller Irish saint was like a copy of a copy.

Emily Barclay true but the thing about saint brigid is people say shes a celtic pagan goddess. Shes really not. Shes an irish face on a christian idea

Is that where he was born or what his familial ethnicity is? Just curious.

Rip off! These are legal legends from before the mass distribution of information. Please consider that Ireland has a deep and lush history, as does your country. Don't write off another country's heritage.

this is actually quite an interesting mathematical parable. you can cover an infinite plane with an arbitrarily small cuboid.

@@nasekiller a parabola is a curve. And any 3dimesional object can be sliced into an infinite number of planes so yes it can

@@TheCrippledCreeper sorry, i meant parable. in my language the words are written the same, so i forgot they are written differently in english. and i am a mathematician, so i am used to writing parabola, but this is probably the first time i used the word parable in english.

St Elvis comes from the Presli hills. So he is St Elvis of Presli. Cool.

Brigid and Columba

I was thinking the famed St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre but apparently not.

Muslims think Jesus was a Muslims, Christians think he was white, in fact, he was a brown-skinned Jew, and to top it all off, Jews don't believe in Jesus. Just remarkable, only humans could be so stupid to invent all of this tripe.

Warhammer Workshop actually Muslims believe he was a jew

Okay, sorry, *some* Muslims think he was a Muslim. But, for the most part, they accept he's meant to be a Jew? Anyway, thanks for the insight, I've not yet read the Qur'an/studied Islam so I don't know too much, the other book was hard enough.

It is a common belief among muslims that all prophets were muslim (which means one who submits to God). Prophets such as Jesus, John, Joseph etc were from the Children of Israel. The Jewish people. Not jewish as in, followers of judaïsm.

0 Muslims think he was a Muslim (in the sense of the modern Islamic Faith) He is seen as a Prophet 600 year before Mohammad. Much like Christians see Jewish Prophets as Prophets in the Christian Churches too.
