In many parts of the world they recognize March 17th as being St. Patrick’s Day and yet many don’t understand its true meaning. The importante of this day of course has to do with St. Patrick being the patron Saint of Ireland.
While not all religions throughout Ireland respect this Saint for its religious standing in the same way, his figure is nonetheless held in reverence by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church as well as the Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox Churches.
Evangelicalism is part of Christianity, and holds the main belief that the doctrine to be followed is one of being saved by grace. Followers often refer to themselves as being “born again”. John Wesley, who founded Methodism, is also believed to be the one religious leader that started the evangelical movement. Evangelicalism has spread across the world and many parts of Ireland – including Dublin – are home to some of its churches.
