St Patrick's Day Sparks

 



We have two Sparks for today.....





 Saint Patrick is not the only saint whose feast day is March 17. It is also the feast of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats and the people who love them.

We did not know that about St. Gertrude. Thanks for sharing. Two saints can surely share the same day:)
