St. Patrick's Day
Commemorates the patrol saint of Ireland who served as this
country's bishop for 30 years and died on March 17, 461. Originally
a Roman Catholic holy day, it has evolved into more of a secular
celebration. It has been celebrated in the United States since
1737. A traditional symbol of the day is the shamrock which
St. Patrick used to explain the Trinity of how the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the
same entity |
