In the context of St. Patrick's Day, I celebrate Ireland's beauty, the great contributions it has made to history, to spirituality, to music and to culture.

I have two links with Irish roots in my family tree, from both my mother and father’s sides of the family.

The week of the celebration of St. Patrick's life, I am of course thinking of beautiful Ireland, and some of my own family roots there.

St. Patrick and his peers brought Christianity to the Celts of Ireland around 400 AD, at a time when all Christians were still "Orthodox."
