St. Patrick of Ireland  – Bridge Building Images

Small Plaque (41/2 ” x 61/4″)

In this icon are present the symbols of a bishop’s staff and a snake. Legend holds that by Patrick’s authority the snakes were driven out of Ireland, a symbol of his power over evil. Patrick is pictured in his liturgical vestments, holding in his hand a clover which he used to teach about the Most Holy Trinity.
