But he plucked a clover without fear and vividly expounded the doctrine of the trinity of the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Son, which deeply moved the Irish and made them convert to Christianity. St Patrick died on March 17, 493. In memory of him, the Irish designated this day as St. Patrick's Day. /kloc-after the 0/8th century, with a large number of Irish immigrants entering the United States, St. Patrick's Day has also become an important festival in the United States.
