I’m not Irish or Catholic. Why would I celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

Because St. Patrick converted many pagans to Christianity, and explained how the Holy Trinity was One God in three Persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He used the shamrock to illustrate it.

The explanation is worth celebrating.
