Today we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Patrick: St. Patrick was born in Scotland and was a priest and bishop. He is best known for bringing the Gospel to Ireland, feeling called to return after spending much of his youth there in captivity. St. Patrick was a missionary across Ireland, with he and his disciples building churches and converting thousands of people to Christianity. St. Patrick also famously used the Shamrock to explain the Trinity. His feast day is a solemnity and holy day of obligation in Ireland, and is celebrated as a religious and cultural holiday in many other places around the world.
