St Patrick's Day
In 432 AD, St. Patrick was sent by the Pope to Ireland to persuade the Irish to convert to Christianity. After St. Patrick came ashore from Wicklow, angry local non-Christians attempted to stone him to death. St. Patrick was not afraid of danger, and immediately picked off a three-leaf wood sorrel, which vividly explained the doctrine of the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. His eloquent speech moved the Irish deeply, and they were baptized by St. Patrick. On March 17, 461, St. Patrick passed away. In memory of him, the Irish set this day as St. Patrick's Day.
