Saint Patrick’s Day is one of the most important Irish festivities. Saint Patrick is the patron of Ireland, together with Saint Brigid and Saint Columba. The three-leaf clover plays an important role, which refers to the Holy Trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated every March 17<\/strong>, and it is one of the signs of Catholic roots in Irish culture, with the three-leaf clover being the emblem of the Irish Catholic Church. Thanks to the large number of expats from Ireland who live in Barcelona, Saint Patrick’s Day – or San Patricio – is one of the most celebrated events. ShBarcelona<\/strong><\/a> will share some interesting information with you in this article about San Patricio.<\/p>\n

Saint Patrick<\/strong> is one of the most famous festivals<\/strong><\/a> in the world, starting with Ireland itself, but also in all the countries in which there are descendants of Irish people or expats from Ireland. This is the case, for example, in the United States, one of the countries with the most Irish descendants in the world. According to the legend<\/strong><\/a>, it all started with the explanation given by Saint Patrick, about what the Holy Trinity<\/strong> was. In order for the whole world to understand it in a simple and didactic way, the saint used a shamrock with three leaves, indicating that each of the leaves symbolized the three entities of the Most Holy Trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. St. Patrick further explained to devotees that, although it is a single clover, there are three entities in it. In Spain San Patricio is patron of the city of Murcia<\/strong> and the town of Albu\u00f1ol<\/strong> in Granada. In addition to this, in Barcelona \u200b\u200bSaint Patrick’s Day is celebrated in many of the Irish<\/strong><\/a> pubs and bars in the Catalan capital.<\/p>\n
