What are Fun facts about st Patrick?

Answer 1

Here's the story behind it all. St. Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday. But actually, he wasn't Irish at all! He was British. (British and Irish were like enemies back then.) St. Patrick was born in Britain and lived with a wealthy family. But then, he was imprisoned by Irish raiders. When he arrived at Ireland, he worked as a sheperd for his master. Whenever when he had alone time in the fields herding sheep, he would pray daily. Soon after a while, he escaped his master, and boarded a ship to Ireland, back to his family. He became a new person and had a new desire: to devote his life to God. So he returned to Ireland to visit his master. He found out that his master set his belongings and goods on fire and himself also. (His master comitted suicide probably because he felt guilty for keeping Patrick in captivity in the 1st place.) He and his missionary companions went around spreading Christianity. But it wasn't easy especially when he went through trials and prosecution because Christianity opposers. But he made accomplishments also. He used a shamrock to represent the holy trinity (the Father, Son, Holy Spirit). He also uncovered churches. And to this day, people all around the world celebrate St. Patrick's Day, celebrating his accomplishments etc.
