St. Patrick's Day Index

Above are four shamrock crafts from this blog.

         St. Patrick Day is celebrated in honor of the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he was born near the site of what is now Dumbarton, Scotland. At the age of sixteen he was taken captive to Ireland, but after six years he escaped. Feeling himself called to abolish paganism from the land of his captivity, he studied for the ministry, was consecrated bishop of Ireland, and began his missionary work there in 432. A. D. It is said that he founded 300 churches in the island and baptized more than 12,000 converts. Patrick left an autobiography which he called a Confession, but it was more psychology than historic, and the known facts of his life are few. Legend says he drove the snakes out of  Ireland, and that he worked miracles. "Saint Patrick's day," the seventeenth of March, is celebrated by the Irish people throughout the world.
