Saint Patrick the patron saint of Ireland did much to conserve the old culture even when he was preaching Christianity. Since he grew up with old traditions and the Irish culture when he was serving as a slave, he learned to appreciate the old beliefs and customs. His analogy of the Trinity to a local plant shamrock and also the use of Celtic cross in his doctrines are examples of his pragmatic preaching’s.
Saint Patric's Day a holiday that has its roots in Ireland is a holiday and the entire world celebrates it in honour of Saint Patrick.
Any other symbol that I might have missed for Saint Patrick's Day?
l love the Irish coffee mugs. I think the shamrocks look really pretty on them.
