Now that St Patrick’s Day Weekend is over and tomorrow is actually St Patrick’s Day - here are some interesting religious facts:
March 17th - St Patrick’s Day
FEAST DAY: Historically, it was a quiet religious occasion in Ireland. Since it falls during Lent, it was a day where restrictions on eating meat were typically lifted, allowing for a feast.
ST PATRICK’S STORY: Patrick was a Christian missionary who was brought to Ireland as a slave, escaped, and later returned to preach Christianity. (According to history.com)
THE SHAMROCK & THE TRINITY: Legend states that St Patrick used the three-leaf shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - illustrating how they can be separate yet one.
ST PATRICK’S BREASTPLATE: A well-known lorica, or prayer for protection, is traditionally attributed to him, focusing on Christ’s presence in all things. (Ligonier Ministries)
FORMALIZATION: It was added to the Catholic liturgical calendar in the early 17th century. (History.com)
