Romans 10:15 “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach
the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”

Saint Patrick, the one who is credited with evangelizing
much of Ireland, is considered the patron saint of Ireland and thought to have
lived from around 340 AD to around 400 AD. According to the legend, he drove
all of the snakes from Ireland, after being attacked by some during a 40 day
fast. Saint Patrick is associated with
the shamrock because it is said that he used the shamrock to explain the
doctrine of the Trinity, three divine persons in one God, as seen in the three
leaves composing one shamrock. The Singleton sculpture shows Saint Patrick with
a halo of piety around his head that leans heaven-ward to God. The right hand of
the saint is on his heart with his other hand holding a staff. On the waist of
Saint Patrick is what is called ‘The Bell of Testament’; it is an ancient holy
relic that he was buried with. Today the bell is enshrined and is one of
Ireland’s national treasures. March 17th, the traditional date of
his death, is celebrated on Saint Patrick’s Day all over the world.
