Saint Patrick Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. St Patrick's Day is March 17. St Patrick is traditionally associated with the Shamrock plant, which he used to explain the concept of the Trinity. St Patrick's value doesn't really come from the historical details but from the inspiration of a man who returned to the country where he had been a child slave, in order to bring the message of Christ.
