He was born between 387 and 390 at Scotland as Maewyn Succat and died between 461 and 464 at Saul, County Down, Ireland of natural causes.
St. Patrick was actually a missionary in Ireland that spent his later life converting druids over to Christianity, from Paganism.

He started over 300 churches and used the 3 leafed clover to teach others about the Holy Trinity.
St. Patrick is largely responsible for converting Ireland to Christianity.

St. Patrick cured the sick a lot and many people were impressed by that so when he died a boy became very sick and his mother prayed to Patrick to make him feel better and he did.

He also converted "pagans" to Christianity and supposedly drove the snakes out of Ireland. In fact many pictures show him with a crooked staff signifying him as a shepherd to the people while he is casting out snakes.

Saint Patrick is most famous for converting much of Ireland to Christianity from paganism. He is also famous for something he did not do - banishing snakes from Ireland. Snakes have never lived in Ireland.
