Doll Crafts for St. Patrick's Day

Sample crafts and printables available under this DIY doll play holiday index.

         Ireland is sometimes called the "Isle of Saints" because it has been the home of so many saintly men and women!

       First in rank among them is Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, whom every child is taught to revere and respect.

       It was he who was chosen by Christ to first teach the Christian faith to the Irish, and so he has been called the Apostle of Ireland and It is in his memory that people wear the shamrock on the 17th of March. This was the day of St. Patrick's birth and also of his death.
