• En este día, millones de personas... de todo el mundo se reunirán para conmemorar la vida de Patricio, patrón de Irlanda. Desde sus días como esclavo en Irlanda hasta su labor como misionero años más tarde, San Patricio demostró un valor, un compromiso y una fe que conquistaron los corazones y las mentes del pueblo irlandés. El Día de San Patricio también sirve para que los descendientes de irlandeses de todas las tradiciones y religiones honren su tierra natal y su patrimonio común. Su devoción a la familia, la fe y la comunidad ha fortalecido el carácter de nuestro país.

• [St. Patrick] was a terror to any snake that came in his path, whether it was the cold, slimy reptile sliding along the ground or the more dangerous snake that oppresses men through false teachings. And he drove the snakes out of the minds of men, snakes of superstition and brutality and cruelty.

• The shamrock is a religious symbol. St. Patrick said the leaves represented the trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That's why four leaf clovers are so lucky, you get a bonus Jesus.

• It's a big deal about whether or not gays can march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade and I have to say that on some level I kind of see their point. Because when you think about it, it is a real macho heterosexual event. Bunch of guys in short skirts on a cart made of rose pedals sharing a bag pipe. That's not for sissies.

• My background is Protestant so I benefited from the great Bible teaching that was provided there... I did love the more culturally classical things, like Irish music, which I think is some of the most congregational-style music when you think of... 'St. Patrick's Breastplate' (and) 'Danny Boy.' These are traditional Irish melodies. I think being brought up there (Ireland) gave me a sense of melody that is very attuned to congregational singing.
