Believed to have died on this day, suggested date 461. (See also February 17, March 5, July 31 and Movable Dates). There is a Celtic belief that to ensure protection from Patrick on a journey, a circle must be drawn around the body and the power of God would stay with the traveller until the end of the journey. Associated with Germanus of Man (3 July) who is said to have worked with Patrick in Ireland, and with Murtagh (12 August). Thought to have baptised Macniss (3 September) and Monessa (4 September), and to have converted Erc (31 October). Patrick is associated with the Elder as it was believed that he used a sacred rod or staff to rid Ireland of the serpent (which has been suggested to symbolise the force of Christianity smashing paganism) (see Mystical WWW Trees).
