Saint Patrick is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland, and has become a patron saint of the nation. He was a missionary there in the 5th Century.
Saint Patrick was a Roman British Christian missionary who was captured as a slave when he was sixteen years. After six years in slavery, he escaped and went back to his family. He later became a cleric and was later ordained to be a bishop. He died on 17th March and this day has come to be known as Saint PatrickÕs Day, a religious feast day.
