Brief History of Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick lived during the 5th century and is the patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16. He later managed to escape. But after seeing a vision telling him to spread the message of Christianity in Ireland, he returned back to Ireland around 432 and introduced Christianity to the Irish people. By the time of his death on the 17 March 461, he established churches and schools. But the most well-known legend of St. Patrick is the myth that he banished all of the island serpents into the sea and that he explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaves of a native Irish clover, the shamrock.
