The people of Ireland believe that a few hundred years ago, there used to be many snakes here. Once the terror of snakes increased beyond limits in their country, people sought help from a local saint ‘Saint Patrick’. Saint Patrick surrounded the snakes of all Ireland with his powers and sent them towards the sea. Since then till now there is not a single snake in Ireland. It is said that for this Saint Patrick had worked hard for 40 days and completed this work by remaining hungry and thirsty.
What does science say?
