Celtic was the prominent culture in Western Europe at the time of the Romans with various Celtic tribes spanning from northern Italy to Great Britain and Ireland. The Romans never invaded Ireland and so it became one of the last strongholds of Celtic language and culture with exceptions like northern Scotland and Brittany. St Patrick is obviously the patron saint of Ireland and as such is linked with Celtic symbology etc, ironically as a Christian missionary he probably would have been doing his best to get rid of all this symbology as a lot of it has a spiritual link to the previous pagan religions of the celts.
