Give Up Yer Aul Sins - Birth of John Baptist

My son and i really enjoy these short videos. I do not however enjoy that people use these videos to launch attacks on faith. If you do not believe in God or if you hate children or you hate videos shot with a sepia tone just simply do not watch.
Thank you for posting all the shorts they are very sweet.

And so she brought food with her thatd do her for de three days walking. And.. cause she knew there were no bikes or nuthin.. so she got outside and it was father than Oliver Plunketts head. Farther than the whole Excursion." For those of you who don't know, Oliver Plunkett's head is on display in Drogheda about 30 miles from Dublin. How clever, this kid equated Mary's journey being farther than the journey taken to see Oliver Plunkett's head... a kid's mind at work!

I didn't know that! Thanks for explaining what it meant.

I didn't realize how similar Irish and Jamaican accents are. Some of those pronunciations were straight Jamaican!

There's a reason for that... 50,000 Irish slaves were sent to work in the Caribean by Britain, predating the arrival of African slaves (e.g. 70% of Montserrat was irish slaves). When Africans were introduced the two intermarried (read were bred) together. So there's significant irish influence in the Caribean!

There's a reason for that... 50,000 irish men, women and children were taken as slaves by the british under Oliver Cromwell to the Carribean, predating the african slave trade. 70% of Montserrat was composed of irish slaves until africans arrived, after which the two intermarried or were bred together. So there is significant Irish influence in the Carribean!

thats an inner city dublin accent,theres 32 counties in ireland and every county has a different accent.

Mom sarcastically suggests the head of John. That sounds like an outrageous request so she says, "I want the head of John the Baptist on a dish." The king is distressed but he gave his oath in front of all his guests. So John's head is cut off, placed on a dish and given to the girl. Though the Bible never gives the name of the young lady who dances, other sources say her name is Salome and that she does this thing with seven veils that is dynamite.
Look it up. Mark 6:17:29

King Herod marries his brother's wife, Herodias. John the Baptist tells Herodias it is wrong. She doesn't like being told she is wrong.
At Herod's birthday banquet, Herodias' young daughter spins into the room and dances so sensually that the tipsy king can't resist her. He swears to give her anything she wants. The girl, drunk witht the first feelings of her sexual power, has no idea what to wish for so she asks her mom.
