St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. At a young age, Patrick was kidnapped by Irish raiders who attacked his family's estate. They took him to Ireland where he spent six years as a slave. He worked as a shepherd and was kept away from other people. Lonely and frightened, he turned to religion for comfort and became a devout Christian.

∙ 8y agoAfter being able to escape from Ireland and returning to Britain, Patrick (then known as Maewyn Succat) went to Europe (possibly France and /or Italy) where he studied for the priesthood. It was during this time that Pope Celestine I change his name from Maewyn Succat to Patricius. His original name meant 'wr-like' and did not seem appropriate for a member of the clergy.
