  "Saint Patrick".....Code word for Evacuation

  On March 17, 1776, the day that British forces under General Sir William Howe evacuated Boston during the American Revolutionary War, the password of the day at General George Washington's Continential Army Encampment was "Saint Patrick".

  The date is observed as Evacuation Day, an official holiday in Suffolk County, Massachusettes, USA.

  Massachusettes has the most Irish ancestry in the U.S. in terms of percentage of local population.

  (FYI......Priesthoods are always allied with military powers!)

  cameo: "Stay tuned, Parakeet. I think I can trace WatchTower back to the Druids!"

  If anyone can do it, you can, cameo.

  Could St. Patrick be another incarnation of THE GREEN MAN?

  The Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters mentions a number of stories relative to Irish Druids, then believed to have once ruled Erin.

  St. Patrick was a youthful slave to Milcho, a Druidical priest. Gradwell's Succat, therefore, says, "He must often have practised heathenish rites in the presence of his household, and thus excited the horror of his Christian slave."

  St. Patrick at Tara

  There was no formal canonization process in the Church during its first millennium. In the early years of the Church the title saint was bestowed first upon martyrs, and then upon individuals recognized by tradition as being exceptionally holy during their lifetimes. Consequently these Irish saints, including St. Patrick, were never actually formally canonized -- save one. The exception was Fergal, also known as St. Virgil of Salzburg, an 8th century missionary scholar who was officially canonized in 1233 by Pope Gregory IX. Virgil is one of only four Irish saints to be canonized by Rome.
