Old St. Patrick’s celebrates 1,500th anniversary of Ireland’s ‘matron’

Holy women, men focus of series by longtime iconographer

Communing with the saints
Human nature is deeply flawed. We know this because we are marked with original sin, of course. But we can also see it when we look at people.
All Saints’ Day, Nov. 1: History and traditions
The author of the Letter to the Hebrews wrote, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith” (12:1-2).
