St. Patrick is most known for driving the snakes from Ireland. The shamrock is the national flower of Ireland. According to legend, Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to Irish pagans. The Chapel of St. Patrick still exists at Glastonbury Abbey.
A toast for St Patrick’s Day:
“May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends beneath it never fall out.”
