Snake Charmer: Saint Patrick and Why There Are No Snakes in Ireland

from History Loves Company · host Chester Sakamoto

In the West, snakes have a reputation, thanks to the Bible, of mistrust and deception, as it was a serpent in the Garden of Eden that tempted Eve to taste the forbidden fruit, thus leading to the Fall of Man and her and Adam's banishment. It's because of this that, according to tradition, the man who would one day be known as Saint Patrick banished all snakes from Ireland. Or so they say. Tune in to find out the true reason why these slithery reptiles aren't found on the Emerald Isle.
