Wonderful show. Great teaching. Hearing Jesus’s name spoken on a show is refreshing!
St. Patrick’s day became a typical festivity (just like Christmas), wherein people use it as an excuse to party rather than internalising the reason why it’s celebrated.
Because it has been highjacked by politicians and corporations. It is still a day for the Catholic Irish
Thank you for the prayers, we are in need of it now. Blessings
Man has ALWAYS been in need of it. There is nothing new under the sun. Its the same fight, but we bring Jesus Christ with us now! I urge Christians not to despair, or to be intimidated. Greater is our strength to do His works now! Our children live in this age, it is our job to encourage them and not to live in fear!
I watched this video twice in a row to celebrate St.Patrick's Day today n it is phenomenal!!! You did an amazing job, showing us the Ireland of St. Patrick's time as well as the present time with the Book of Kells, the cathedrals, Trinity College n all the ruins n islands where the monks preserved the Christian documents that JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD initiated and ordained the Apostles to continue to spread HIS HOLY WORD!!! The prayer at the end of the video topped it off fabulously!!! Mr. Story, you have given us a magnificent tribute to the REAL meaning of St. Patrick's Day. Thank you for posting. .🙏🍀💚🗝️🌟👍🕊️
I agree 100%.
I'm 60-ish and was born & raised a Roman Catholic and didn't know until now that Patrick was never ordained as a Saint by any Pope.!! What an amazing fact. Anyway, his miracle is not driving snakes away (no snakes on islands) or raising dead people back to life (quite impossible) but convincing the Irish that you're right and they're wrong, now that's a real miracle.!!
He was a saint by common acclamation!
One St. Patrick's history that I ran across stated that when Patrick returned to Ireland to "convince" the people there to adopt Christianity, that he used tyranny and violence up to and including death, to bring those conversions about. What I learned about St. Patrick from that history made me not want to celebrate the holiday any longer. But how do we know what is factual and what isn't?
No snakes on islands? Britain is an island and we have 3 species, one of which is venomous.
@Norah56s God said not your way my way
@@tasiaflynn3549 And so???
Outstanding history lesson. The production values are very very high, the format was superb, and your storytelling was top-notch. This was an excellent video!
Shame it is not factually correct also!@
BRAVO!! Fantastic! Beautiful!... thoroughly enjoyed. I'll never look at St. Patrick's Day from a world view again. Thank you.
Perhaps the best documentary I've seen on St. Patrick...
A wonderfully filmed and told story of St. Patrick and the deep roots of his accomplishments during his life. He was an amazing man...really St. Patrick made Christianity shine in Ireland
Dear Dave Scott
I have been viewing your video since the day before yesterday. Extra ordinarily good filled with thrill and action and inspired me to listen yr other videos also
St. Patrick is Ireland's Patron Saint. In my Parish also we observed His memorial Day on March 17th
I will write you elaborately later being l am very late at night
Actually, Bettyrt, he promoted the Catholic faith!
An excellent presentation, related with enthusiam- most enjoyable God bless you
There are different kinds of Christianity...Patrick's was the bad one!
So glad to get this info. Special!
We all know that GOD has a special place in HIS heart for shepherds - JESUS is my Goodshepherd!
Comfort with Solitude, vigilant and courageous, compasionate..
Indeed. Jesus and Mary
They should do a movie about his life seriously amazing
Yes it would be a great movie of truth. Saint Patrick had a great influence on the entire world. I’ve subscribed to your CZcams channel and all blessings from Ireland in Jesus name czcams.com/video/eL7BIGnj4SA/video.html
Totally fell in love with, and deeply appreciated, this fascinated story of St Patrick. How have I never heard all this before?
Thanks from Ireland czcams.com/video/vN9GR6xRw24/video.html
Was asking myself the very same! 💜 💚
What a wonderful video! You did a great job with the history and filming of beautiful Ireland ❤
What a wonderful sojourn through beautiful parts of Ireland and so much history we need to remember! Thank you X🕊🙏🏼
This dude does a GREAT narrative to his magnificent travels through Ireland's lush, yet barren at the same time, countryside. The ruins where St. Patrick stands guard STILL are fabulous!!! WONDERFUL video on the famously infamous St. Patrick for his own Day due to his contributions to Catholicism!!!👍🙏🍀🗝️💚🍵🪦
St Patrick was a a priest and a Bishop
St Patric was CATHOLIC
ame
Thank you Dave Stotts for beautifully presenting the history of St. Patrick. I have heard of him but after watching the video of yours I'm inspired to see what God with a simple man where he uses him to touch a whole nation. I'm Jacinth watching from India please continue to do more videos! God bless you abundantly! By the way I would to travel along with you to visit places 😀😊😇
Yes Saint Patrick had great salvations in Ireland and we celebrate his victory over darkness in Ireland. He used shamrock ever since to explain the triune God Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Only one God and three person. . Only one shamrock and three leaves. czcams.com/video/eL7BIGnj4SA/video.html
I grew up near Slemish Mountain in the nearby village of Broughshane. Watching this has made me a bit homesick. You can indeed see Scotland from the top and if you turn around you can see Lough Neagh. It's a wonderful view on a clear summer day.
Omgoodness How beautiful. This was truly Amazing to watch. I cried at the end. The Book of Kells...your prayer and just to know how God used St. Patrick. Thank you so much Dave and so glad you got to knock a bucket lost off too. Truly Amazing. GOD BLESS 🙏📖✝️🙋🏼♀️
This video is very well done. The official symbol of Ireland is not the shamrock, as claimed in this accounting. The official symbol of Ireland is the harp.
Yes Joe you’re right I’ve subscribed to your CZcams channel and all blessings from Ireland czcams.com/video/eL7BIGnj4SA/video.html
St. Patrick pray for us.
An awesome documentary on the life of this great saint. The team has left no stone unturned to bring
You just helped me teach my son about St. Patrick's Day.
Thank you so much for this amazing journey, exploring the life of St. Patrick, the significance, and the history of Ireland. I went to watch this video only expecting to hear how St. Patrick drove snakes out of Ireland, which is what I had previously heard of him. But the real accounting of his life, his suffering, and his faith, is immeasurably profound and moving. And thank you for the prayer. God bless you. ❤
Dave Stotts, you are truly anointed to deliver through documentary films, the Gospel of Jesus ❤ Bless you my brother 🙏 🙌 ❤️
This is a beautiful documentary of St Patrick. So much more information about the accomplishments during his life. St Patrick was just an amazing man. Was amazing how he was able to being Christianity to the people of Ireland in a way that they could understand. A humble man walking with God and amble to accomplish many things during his life.
He didn't bring Christianity to Ireland, he popularised it. It was already here but had less followers than Paganism.
@@lorrainecc99 It was because of St Patrick's conversion of those pagans of Ireland that brought back Christianity to Scotland, Wales and England. You can thank him for that. He knew the Scriptures better than any learned priest or decon.
@@kathrynjordan8782 Yes like I said, he popularised it. By using pagan symbols and traditions... whilst condemning said Pagans who weren't so eager to convert.
Not sure why I should be thanking him honestly! Who knows how a modern Pagan Ireland would have looked? And if Patrick didn't spread Christianity some other forsaken missionary would have tried it. Still, Christianity really didn't do Ireland any favours!
@@lorrainecc99 Ireland is unfortunately pretty much pagan now.
What a beautiful and well done tribune and history of St Patrick. I have to go back in Ireland and visit those places where he spent his life.
My kids and I really enjoyed this presentation. I would love to visit Ireland to see these places as you did.
It’s lovely that you a bringing up your kids in the way of the Lord Jesus Christ czcams.com/video/vN9GR6xRw24/video.html
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much Dave and company for this beautiful documentary on Saint Patrick. God bless you for bringing us these awesome history / information. 🙏👍👌
Great program (of course!) THANKS! From an Irish-American Christian.
To bring to us every detail of the life of St. Patrick. Excellent narration and beautiful documentary.
Thanks so much enjoyed every bit.
This absolutely touched my heart, I didn’t expect to feel this way while watching this.
☘️☘️🪙Wow wow wow. This is so thrilling it made me shed tears ! Mesmerizing, beautiful, enlightening formidable from beginning to end ! This documentary is a must - a classic from now own. Exhilarating!
Didn’t know how much Ireland 🇮🇪 helped preserve culture and faith.
Happy Saint Patrick’s- from a newly devoted woman
I was also moved when I realized the 'golden thread' of salvation that the Irish Monasteries held on to in the transcribing and safe-keeping of God's Word!🌟
Thank you for one of the best shows..God Bless..
Really super! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
When I came into this country in the 70s I was very unhappy with a family who brought me, my day off was Sunday afternoon and I used to go to Saint Patrick Church on 5th Avenue and I will pray and pray and weep and weep and ask him to protect me and help me find another job, and I found another job and found another job and my life it turned to be wonderful over the years until today.
I have so much fate and Saint Patrick and Jesus Christ. 🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🙏🙏🙏💓
Were you an au pair?
Nice Vehicle! Thanks for this story about Saint Patrick’s Day!
Good job. Putting Skellig on my bucket list. And also plan to visit St. Patrick's Dublin. Happy St Patrick's day to all
Commendable story telling!! 👏👏👏 I’ve learned a lot and I was moved by St. Patrick’s story.
I was born on Saint Patricks day and Mothers day. Im so happy God chose this as my Birthday. I have Irish ancestry and love Irish music. Jesus is amazing
Happy Birthday!
Thx u. Very well done. A true blessing indeed. Happy St.Patricks Day 😊
Thank you Dave Scott for giving us an amazing account of Saint Patrick, as we celebrate St Patrick’s Day. I have been inspired and puffed up by the history with regards St Patrick’s life and Ministry here on Planet Earth in Ireland. I thank God that God chose me too to be a committed and dedicated Christian. I’m not ashamed to be associated with him after learning of what he achieved during his lifetime. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. The righteous shall live. I thank God that St Patrick did not die prematurely, before he finished his assignment from God, so I pray for us all Christians to continue to hold on and do what God called us for until our good old ages, just like Saint Patrick. God bless us all as we continue to serve Him in our godly given assignments.
Thanks from Ireland czcams.com/video/vN9GR6xRw24/video.html
I watch every year with my kids. Thanks again!
The best brought tears to my eyes when you prayed
Thank you. This was a well developed and authentic telling of St Patrick’s life, very respectful of our Roman Catholic Faith.
Thanks brother DAVE!
You and the crew at Cold Water always bring the history of the Church and Christians to us in brilliant and beautiful and touching ways. Just always glad to see you trecken' for JESUS BRO,
MARANATHA...
Walter ☝️🤟✝️🌄🔜
Thank you for sharing the history of St Patrick and his calling to share Christianity with the Irish! What a blessing He was! ♥️☘️✝️🙏🏻♥️
This was a perfect addition to my spring break! Thank you so much for this video! Now I really want to go to Ireland.
There's much much more to see when you go to Israel, and or follow Paul's journey ,, Israel is so rich in archaeology. ALL the best,

Beautiful, love this, I read about St Patrick as a child while attending a parochial school….I also once had a book about the lives of saints and St Patrick was among them. I loved this book but before I had moved, it was stolen. I truly miss it…..😥. May God bless everyone….👍❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸
Thank you! A reminder of the love of our Lord!
What a magnificent program and testament to the Christian Faith. I teared up throughout. Thanks, Dave. Much love from Chicago.
THANK YOU & A VERY HAPPY ST.PAT'S 🍀💯👍
LOVED THE PRESENTATION & HISTORICAL INFORMATION 🍀💯🍀👍
Thank you for a great documentary! Loved the connection you made between St. Patrick and King David, who both started out as lowly shepherds. All the places you showed us were awesome. As I like history, and travel (at least watching travel videos!) and videos made by people of faith, I've just subscribed to your channel. BTW, I like and own Thomas Cahill's book, "How the Irish Saved Civilization". I recommend it to anyone who studies history.
What a pity you didn’t climb the entirety of Croagh Patrick. It
seemed like a beautiful clear day which doesn’t happen often in the west of Ireland. Loving your show. God bless.
Awesome story about St.Patrick History 👒☘️🙏
This was so good. Love your Drive Through History series 🙂😊
Thank you for doing this and all the other episodes you have done. They are much needed. God bless you all!
Beautifully done! Thank you and God bless you and continue to inspire you!!
WOW! We've watched you for years and love all of your series. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher, because of you we LOVE to learn about history. I didn't know anything about St. Patrick and it was so neat to learn so much at a deep level and enjoy the scenery from my ancient ancestors' stomping grounds. We pray that you never stop teaching! Thank you for all that you do!
I love this history of St. Patrick so much! I watched it last year and now this year again in rapt attention. I have read short stories about his conversion before, but this really pulls together the enormous impact his life had in Ireland, Britain and beyond. It explains so much to me that I never understood before. Thanks you Mr. Stotts for putting this together. ✝🙂✝
"Total dependence on God" is a journey of faith. This concept is rooted in the understanding that God is the only one who can truly provide for us and that He knows us best and loves us most.
Dave, I believe you're getting dangerously close to becoming Catholic after this and all your drive through history in Israel!! 😂 In the Catholic Church we do light the Paschal candle at Easter vigil the evening before Easter every year. The Catholic Church is a wonderful place to be as it is the church that Jesus Christ founded and said that the gates of hell would never prevail. It's the only church that's been around for over 2000 years, sure we have problems and a lot of sinners amongst us, but I was I said the gates of hell will never prevail against it!! Beautiful video!! ☘️
Believe that Jesus is the Messiah.. that's what the church is founded in. Not just Peter.
Stop with the ridiculous "church that Jesus Christ founded" fantasy. It's just demonstrably and historically not true. The Catholic church finds its beginnings with Gregory around 590 a.d. Jesus did not set up your multi-layered bishops with all your man-made church rules, never directed any devotion to His mother, and did not made Peter a pope. It condemned the true gospel of faith as accursed at Trent, and has been officially apostate ever since. For Dave to become Catholic would indeed be "dangerous." It means he'd be forsaking the gospel of Jesus Christ for fables and a works-based salvation.
Great message
I love being Catholic
not founded on Peter at all. Jesus Christ is the Rock.
Learning about him and appreciating all he accomplished in his not easy life. But full life. Has gave me more appreciation of who and what this day stands for. Thank you for this history lesson.
Someone fwded this link on a church group on St Patrick's feast.i m simply overwhelmed watching this episode.
With my son's we devoured this lovely enriching,inspiring,educating, enthralling watch with great joy.
Thank you Dave for taking us where we wud never dare to go on our own and for making this journey .We felt like we were there and experienced what you spelt out maybe lesser.grew in love and reverence of St Patrick.learning about his life,his hardship and his great love and zeal for God and the Catholic faith.
New fans of this channel.
God bless you..for ur faith and this evangelising narrative.💝🙌🌹😍
Yes Yes!!
Amen 🕊✝️🕊
Awesome information off St Patrick thank you for sharing!!!! well done 👍 thank you 🙏.
This is awesome Matt! Great job on the video! You came a long way from making videos with Willy! Love you!
My 21st birthday is this Saint Patrick's Day.
Beautifully done but you forgot about Saint Patricks Purgatory on Lough Derg in County Donegal which is seen to the most blessed sites in all of Ireland and is still a regular place of worship and solitude.
Fantastic Documentary! Thanks for posting!
Saint Patrick was neither a Protestant nor a Catholic but a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. His wife’s name was Shelagh and the 18 of March is her feast day. He was captured as a slave and brought to Ireland to herd pigs and sheep on Slemish mountain ( near the port of Larne. ) in the year of 400 ad . He spent 6 years working and herding sheep and pigs.when Patrick had a dream of a boat ready for his escape to be home again. He went down to the boat and escaped home again. He arrived home and tried to catch up on his studies in God’s word. He wasn’t able to take the memories of Ireland from his mind. He gathered a group of Spirit filled believers to return to Ireland and evangelize the Irish. He was a Gaelic Speaker and equipped for this immense task. He spent years as a Spirit filled believer and was operating in the spiritual gifts of miracles and healing He returned to Ireland in 332 ad . Because he was operating in the miracles and healing. Like the early believers he had great success and even to this day fruit is being evident. Ireland became the island of saints and scholars and it will return to Christianity. czcams.com/video/eL7BIGnj4SA/video.html
Patrick TRULY REBUKED SATAN IN JESUS CHRIST'S NAME AND LIVED OUT GODS
DREAM! Gloria (gigi)
This documentary is so amazing, I've never seen before ❤
Thankyou so much for your work on this programme.✨ Scholarship second to none. We are from Northern Ireland.
I enjoyed watching this and learning what the point of st Patrick’s day. He sounds like a brave man overcoming the druids with Christianity. Wonder why it’s become a drinking holiday … lol.
Exactly I will look at saint Patrick's day differently now amazing
Thank you for your sharing your love of the day March 17 , and all that it means .I myself have loved the day more then others, since I was in 6th. Grade .😊
What a beautiful piece of work. May God bless you always.
I enjoyed your story immensely my conformation name is Patrick.
excellent video, thanks for putting this together
Wow! Thanks for this! Well done, educational, and spiritually uplifting!
My grade school teacher and principle, Sister Mary Davidica Brown lived on the shores of Clew Bay, within sight of Croagh Padriac, She was a wonderful teacher and witness for Christ.
A truly engaging account of one of my favorite saints! I thought I knew a lot about Patrick and Ireland (being 1/4 Irish); I was wrong! All of the locations that you visited were fascinating and inspiring. However, you have NO idea how dizzy I felt watching you scale Skellig Michael!! I look forward to watching other episodes that you have recorded.
Thoroughly enjoyable and informative with a little bit of humour thrown in,excellent and I've heard this story all my life as I'm Irish from head to toe,thank you
Well done! Thank you for this!
Love this!!! Thank you!
You get an “A” for telling our history. Thank you.
This was is amazing. Thank you for sharing St. Patrick
Enjoyable video. Didn't know about the shamrock use by Patrick. Quite tale of single-minded dedication and faith by him.
What an excellent presentation!
Thanks Dave and crew!
Well done! Thank you!
Excited to get more DVDS from you!!

Thank you so much! God has really blessed you to be able to share of the people in history that fought to share the Good News of Jesus Messiah! This is so beautifully done! We're doing homeschool and my oldest loves your videos. ❤👍 Ps I'm wondering if you have a video about Corrie Ten Boom during WW2?
Learned so much!! Incredible!!
Fantastic video! Thank you for all of your work and research ❤
This was so excellent! Loved watching it with my preteen!
Wow, absolutely incredible and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I only knew a drop of the story.
