Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, died according to tradition on March 17th.

His spiritual legacy is celebrated each year on St. Patrick's Day every March 17th.

Saint Patrick traveled throughout Ireland preaching the Gospel and founding churches, monasteries and schools.

Also Saint Patrick is known for using a three-leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity, which is why the Irish wear shamrocks on their lapels on Saint Patrick's Day.
