Celebrated on March 17 NS/30 OS—and arguably one of the most well-known Christian saints—Patrick of Ireland is loved by many in both the Eastern and Western churches. Though his feast day has been inundated with secular images of leprechauns and pots of gold, St. Patrick cleverly used the shamrock as a tool to illustrate the nature of the one Holy Trinity. Below you will find some fun resources to share with your family for St. Patrick’s Day.
Holy St. Patrick, pray to God for us!
