Who was St. Patrick?

Answer 1

Saint Patrick St Patrick was a Roman Englishman who introduced Christianity to Ireland.

The man himself, St. Patrick, was born in Wales in 385 AD (His given name was Maewyn).

St. Patrick spent thirty years building and setting up monasteries and places of worship all around Ireland. As anyone who has been to Ireland will know, religion is a big part of being Irish.

He was thrown into prison several times and escaped each time from the Celtic Druids to continue establishing churches and monasteries all over Ireland, a mission that took him over 30 years.

St. Patrick died on March 17th, 461 AD and that day has been celebrated as St. Patrick's Day ever since.

When we Celebrate this holiday, we think of green; green foods, clothing, drinks etc.. Green came into the picture and started to be associated with this celebration in the 19th century.

The color green, in Irish legends was the color worn by fairies and immortals and the color worn by people to encourage crops to grow. Even today, when we think of green, we think of springtime, new life and new growth.

St. Patrick is a 5th century bishop who was sent by the pope to convert the pagan Druids of Ireland to Christianity.
