Every March 8 we begin the novena to Saint Patrick, whose devotion among the Irish of New York (United States) made this city turn green every year.
The patronage of Ireland is held together with Saint Brigid and Saint Columba. Saint Patrick is considered by tradition to be the one who introduced Christianity to that territory, since he became the greatest missionary of the island at the time of the expansion of the Gospel in Insular Europe.
Saint Patrick used to use a three-pointed clover leaf to explain the Trinity, making an analogy between the three points of the leaf and the three divine Persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), distinct and distinguishable, but who make up a single reality. .
