📖 Ancient Restoration St Patrick is said to have banished snakes from Ireland. This echoes Honoratus of France, who drove snakes from the island where he founded his abbey in the French Riviera. The young Patrick later trained at the abbey, the legend becoming assoc. with him.
Snakes represent earthly wisdom & the power of good judgement. Moses strikes down the snake-staff on Pharaoh's throne, freeing Israel from Egypt; when banished Lucifer transforms into a serpent. Snake venom symbolises the delayed but decisive effect of performing justice. ☘️🐍
