Happy St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick, instrumental in Christianizing Ireland, established churches and monasteries that became centers of learning. His work among the Celts facilitated their conversion and resulted in the creation of magnificent illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Durrow and the Book of Kells, showcasing intricate interlace designs and zoomorphic art. The High Cross of Muiredach stands as a testament to his influence, with its remarkable carvings depicting biblical scenes. Join us in honoring St. Patrick's enduring legacy on this day of celebration!
