A St. Patrick’s Day List of Good Works
St. Patrick is known for his Good Works! He did many good things to help the Irish people out of the stone age. The Irish continent was overrun by barbarians, nomadic, and druidic people that believed in unreal gods. The Irish were not on track to learning, civilization, or knowledge in general. St. Patrick kind of helped to show them the way.
Some of the good works that St. Patrick performed are:
- He helped to build libraries/schools.
- Drove Paganism out of Ireland.
- Increased the Literacy rate of the Irish.
- Improved and introduced new engineering concepts in Ireland.
- Introduced Ceramics into Ireland – enabling better art, design, and sculpture.
What good works have you done? St. Patrick did a lot and he worked within an entire country. Many people have no concept of good works – or doing good to their fellow man. St. Patrick was a missionary of good works. Good works great a better world and make it a more hospitable place to live. To this blog I’ve added a list of good works that you can do to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
