St. Patrick's Day Google doodle has Celtic runes and shamrocks, but nothing about WHY IT'S EVEN A HOLIDAY.

The trefoil knot symbolizes the trinity, and St. Patrick used the clover leaf to explain the trinity. So yeah, it does.

Those are more widely recognized as culturally Irish, which is why they are in the doodle.

You are saying they've been adopted to help promulgate Christianity in Ireland, something I didn't know and is not broadly known (I am pretty sure). Trefoil knots and shamrocks aren't symbols of Christianity anywhere else that I know of.

I rate it at about 40%.

I have to go back to Google time-and-time again despite their failure to use Christian symbolism. They are pretty good as a search engine but suck as a way to spread the word of Christ. They really need to rethink their business practices in a capitalist society.

It's true.

Also, the Triskelion is found in, like, every culture, but has been basically been associated with celtic ones for a long time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskelion

It's been popular forever, and became associated with Christianity because, like the shamrock, it could easily and graphically explain the concept of the trinity.

Imagine you're a Christian martyr beheaded by the emperor of Rome because of your faith.

Because of your unwavering faith, even in the face of death, they create a holiday for you in remembrance.

Many, many years later you look down on Earth and see that your day has turned into nothing more than a way for big business to strongarm men into buying worthless bullshit for their women and take them out to overpriced dinners in the hopes that the night ends in sex.

We have a habit of ruining good things in this country.

Post images of fish, all sorts of fish. After all, the fish was the first symbols used by followers of Kee-ryst to identify themselves to each other.  The Roman Church adopted the cross.

Ireland used to. Stores shut down, people went to church. Of course, Ireland isn't really Christian anymore.

It isn't really a holiday, in the sense of holy day. It's just a "feast day", which was locally important to Ireland.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Roman_Calendar.

From a Catholic liturgical standpoint, it isn't any more important as a religious holiday than the feast of St. Eusebia, which was yesterday.

It doesn't. It's a commonly used metaphor to explain the theological concept of the trinity, which can be tricky for people never exposed to such a concept.

Do you not use metaphors and stories when explaining biblical concepts to unbelievers?
