For Saint Patrick’s Day, a cartoon of Saint Patrick showing the ASL hand sign for his name. The patron saint of Ireland, he’s dressed in Green and carries a Golden Shamrock, the visual he used to describe God’s Holy Trinity when he brought Christianity to Ireland. The knuckle of the X hand shape twists into the arm, like the hand sign for PINCH.
The hand sign refers to the Saint Patrick’s day tradition of pinching anyone caught not wearing Ireland’s colours on this holiday. Folklore also states wearing Green makes you invisible to leprechauns, mischievous imps who like pinching.
