Celebrations around the world
Saint Patrick's Day
Ireland, and wherever the Irish have gone · March 17
Saint Patrick's Day honors the missionary who carried the gospel to Ireland in the fifth century. Beneath the parades is the memory of a man who forgave his captors and returned to bring them Christ, and who used the shamrock to teach the Trinity.
How it is celebrated
It is marked with parades, wearing green, and church services; at its heart is thanksgiving for the good news brought to a whole people.
In the Word
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Matthew 28:19 (KJV)
One family, in every land
Across the world the church keeps this feast in a thousand ways, but it is one Lord all of it honors. Wherever you are, pray, read the Word, and gather with the family of God on The Living Bread. Free, with no ads, for all people.
