Saint Patrick’s Day Free Printables
/St. Patrick left an amazing legacy on the isle of Ireland that hasn’t been quickly forgotten by the Irish in over one thousand years! Each year, we celebrate his gift of Christian mercy, love, and compassion on March 17th.
After researching and learning about Ireland over the past 2 months for this issue of On Mission, I can see why St. Patrick loved it so. Even after escaping from captivity as a slave there, his heart could not be separated from the land or the people. God called him back - to HIS CAPTIVES - to preach the Good News.
The story of St. Patrick is fun for our children as they enjoy the fun clovers and dream of finding gold at the end of any rainbow, but the story of St. Patrick is one that can encourage all of our hearts.
