Saint Patrick
Shamrock faith bringer
Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, a fifth-century Christian missionary credited with converting the Irish to Christianity.
He allegedly drove the snakes from Ireland—likely a metaphor for pagan beliefs.
Saint Patrick's Day, March 17, celebrates Irish heritage with parades, green attire, and drinking: Everyone's Irish on Saint Patrick's Day.
