Today is Saint Patrick's Day. Celebrated throughout the world and even on the International Space Station; St. Patrick's Day is a day of celebration. It celebrates the life of a man that accomplished much in his lifetime and gave to so many. There is one thing about Saint Patrick that is so interesting to me that I wanted to share it with you. Did you know the Green Shamrock plant that is so closely associated with Saint Patrick's Day was a teaching tool?
The shamrock plant is three-leaved and Saint Patrick decided to explain the Holy Trinity by using the shamrock as an example. Wow! A simple teaching tool has become a world wide symbol. I wonder wherever he is today in the mansions of the universe does he smile knowing that a simple teaching tool has become a bedrock of pride. Whenever I see the shamrock I see the Holy Trinity!
I've included a short simple bio video that will give a quick history on Saint Patrick. Enjoy your day, be safe and keep an eye out for those who may celebrate a little too much!
Until the next time,
Peaceful thoughts,
