St Patrick – Ireland’s Patron Saint

St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain he was captured by Irish pirates during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. During this time, Ireland was a land of Druids and pagans. Spending 6 years here as a slave, it was during this time Patrick turned to God. He wrote in his memoir, The Confession,

“The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same. I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain.”

He finally escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast where a ship would be waiting to take him home. It was here that Patrick went on to become a priest.

According to tradition, Patrick returned to Ireland to convert the pagan Irish to Christianity. He spent many years evangelizing in the northern half of Ireland and converted “thousands”.

He often used shamrocks to illustrate the Holy Trinity, using the three leaves to explain, The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

It is said that St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. However, at no time has there ever been any proof of snakes in Ireland. This is more likely an allegory of his efforts against the druids.

St Patrick worked many miracles and preached and converted all of Ireland for 40 years. Tradition holds that he died March 17th, 461. Now St Patrick’s Day. Over the following centuries, many legends grew around Patrick and he became Ireland’s patron Saint.

 

The Shamrock & The Holy Trinity

The Shamrock is synonymous with St Patrick’s Day. As previously mentioned legend has it that St Patrick plucked a Shamrock from the ground to explain the Holy Trinity. Using each leaf to represent The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit, he converted the people of Ireland to Christianity. Hence, the very important tradition of wearing Shamrocks on St Patrick’s Day!

Of course, now the Shamrock has become somewhat of an unofficial symbol of Ireland, it is used on many state organizations as an emblem such as Aer Lingus and Tourism Ireland.

Also a symbol of luck, prior to Christianity and St. Patrick, the Druids believed that they could thwart evil spirits and danger by carrying a shamrock.

Wearing Green St Patrick’s Day

We all know it is customary to wear green on St Patrick’s Day. But did you know that the original color associated with St Patrick’s Day was actually blue? The earliest depictions of St Patrick show him wearing blue. And the official color of the Order of St Patrick was a sky blue known as ” St Patrick’s Blue”.

Ireland’s nickname the Emerald Isle and the green stripe in the Irish flag are some of the reasons that green replaced blue. Of course, this makes sense. Because traditionally the Green in the Irish flag represents the Catholics of Ireland, while the Orange represents the Protestants and the White in the middle symbolizes Peace.
