Doesn\u2019t St. Patrick demonstrate this in his forgiveness of the Irish pirates and those who forced him into slavery? &nbsp;That plus most people know very little accurate information about both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Patrick was Romano British, not Irish. He was kidnapped by Irish Pirates from his noble home in Brittan when he was a teenager and forced into Irish slavery.&nbsp; He didn\u2019t go by the name Patrick until he trained to be a Catholic Bishop many years later in France.&nbsp; He returned to Ireland to share God\u2019s love and knowledge with the Irish\u2026the people who at one time kidnapped him. He most likely used the clover to explain God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three distinct roles in the same one God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red pandas were named panda first.\u00a0 Not the Giant panda. \u00a0They are not raccoons or foxes. But, rather very cute creatures that can teach us something about God and his creation too.\u00a0 Check out how in\u00a0<em>Rojo, The Baby Red Panda at the Zoo\u00a0<\/em>by Hope Mucklow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rojo-Baby-Red-Panda-Zoo\/dp\/1620865939\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1G01Y5Z4QV5BS&amp;keywords=Rojo+the+baby+red+panda+at+the+zoo&amp;qid=1647099123&amp;sprefix=rojo+the+baby+red+panda+at+the+zoo%2Caps%2C109&amp;sr=8-1\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rojo-Baby-Red-Panda-Zoo\/dp\/1620865939\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1G01Y5Z4QV5BS&amp;keywords=Rojo+the+baby+red+panda+at+the+zoo&amp;qid=1647099123&amp;sprefix=rojo+the+baby+red+panda+at+the+zoo%2Caps%2C109&amp;sr=8-1<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about St. Patrick in&nbsp;<em>St. Patrick\u2019s Day<\/em>&nbsp;by Gail Gibbons,&nbsp;<em>Patrick Patron Saint of Ireland<\/em>&nbsp;by Tomie dePaola, and <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1426421103997_2960\"><a href=\"https:\/\/americanminute.com\/blogs\/todays-american-minute\/saint-patrick-found-ireland-all-heathen-and-left-it-all-christian-american-minute-with-bill-federer?_pos=1&amp;_sid=32379229f&amp;_ss=r\">https:\/\/americanminute.com\/blogs\/todays-american-minute\/saint-patrick-found-ireland-all-heathen-and-left-it-all-christian-american-minute-with-bill-federer?_pos=1&amp;_sid=32379229f&amp;_ss=r<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/St.-Patricks-Day-2015.docx\">St.-Patricks-Day-2015<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/St.-Patricks-Day-2015.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>to download and print a blank copy of the illustrated coloring sheet.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This might be a bit of a stretch to ask what St. Patrick and red pandas have in common, but I love the story behind St. Patrick\u2019s teen life and calling to love the Irish. &nbsp;My intent in writing Rojo was to give the world a unique (and educational about pandas) story to encourage loving &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/?p=1528\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">St. Patrick&#8217;s Day<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1528"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1535,"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1528\/revisions\/1535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hopetheparentteacher.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
