St. Patrick is Ireland heavenly protector venerated by the Roman-Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.
He is considered a
founder and the first bishop of the Irish Church. Saint Patrick came to
Ireland as a missionary in the 5th century.
According to the tradition,
preaching the great mystery of the Trinity he picked up the shamrock and
showed it to Irishmen to illustrate the idea.
Ever since the three leaf shamrock has become an Irish symbol of the Holy Trinity and its green color is the country's national color.
St. Patrick Day is annually celebrated in Moscow.

Such tradition has
originated from 1992 when 15 decorated platforms representing Russian
and Irish companies moved along the Novy Arbat Street accompanied with
brass bands and horse stuntmen.
