"Saint Patrick was a Roman Britain-born Christian missionary and is the patron saint of Ireland. When he was about 16 he was captured by Irish raiders and taken from his native Wales as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After entering the Church, he later returned to Ireland as a missionary in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked and no link can be made between Patrick and any church." basically he was a missionary who did good works for Ireland and went through a lot of hard trials so he was proclaimed their patron saint. People look up to him.
