Pagan - aheathen: an unconverted member of a people or nation that does not acknowledgethe God of the Bible. Prior to St. Patrick\'s arrival in Ireland to build aChristian Church, pagan wizards foretold his mission. There was a fierceheathen king named Logaire who reigned in the Irish capital of Tara. He calledupon his two favorite wizards to look into the future with their black arts andthis is what they foresaw: \"there would come to be a certain foreign practice,like a kingdom, with some strange and troublesome doctrine; a practice broughtfrom afar across the seas, proclaimed by a few, adopted by many and respectedby all; it would overthrow kingdoms, kill kings who resisted, win over greatcrowds, destroy their gods, and after driving out all the resources of theirart it would reign for ever and ever.\" These words were indeed prophetic,for St. Patrick wiped out the worship of idols and established the catholicfaith in Christ throughout the country. The defining moment in St. Patrick\'smission came when he challenged King Logaire and his pagan followers on Easter,declaring that the power of their gods were no match for the power of theChristian God. This challenge also coincided with the pagans\' most importantfestival of the year. In a series of confrontations and contests over two daystime, St. Patrick killed both of Logaire\'s favorite wizards and reduced theking to a frightened, humiliated mortal. It is ironic that the patron saint ofIreland, St. Patrick, was in fact a Roman Briton who had a vision that he wasto go to Ireland to establish the Christian church. He believed in this missionso passionately that he left his family behind in Britain and forsook anyopportunity for a personal life to achieve this goal. His exploits gave rise tothe legend of him driving the snakes out of Ireland. This is likely to be ametaphor for the defeat of paganism, as serpent imagery is common in paganreligions and the use of that iconography would have died out with the fall ofthe heathens. St. Patrick devoted his life to converting the druids and hislegacy is a Christian Ireland.Krone honors Saint Patrick with a magnificent pen. The barrel is a luminescent,brilliantly colored painting over a hand-made barrel; re-creating the glowingstained glass of that time period. The image is of Saint Patrick dressed as aShepherd.The cap and blind cap are of rich briarwood, which is delicately carved with aCeltic pattern. The antique bronze clip is a unique Celtic symbol, whichaccents the cap so beautifully. The band at the base of the barrel has the word“EIRE” which means Ireland in Gaelic. This pen is also available in a magnumsize. The cap on the magnum version is also briarwood, however it has twopanels with an ornate Celtic cross in silver and gold and the other two panelshave painted mother of pearl inlays. The barrel of the pen is mother of pearlwith the same richly painted picture adorned with gold leaf.
