Why are rainbows a symbol of St. Patrick’s Day? Draper noted those traditions merged with Christian beliefs. He explained that Christians view the rainbow as a representation of God’s promise to never again destroy the earth with a flood. “Saint Patrick’s Day is really about a transition from paganism to Christianity,” he said.
