Why is Saint Patrick considered as a saint?
Answer:Patrick is responsible for creating many different faiths, and a large number of churches. Patrick had a great understanding of the Trinity and the after life and it is believed that Patrick has more than one life in a physical and mental sense of being through a continuance. His preaching of life ever lasting is generally excepted among the norm, and there are many scholars and great thinkers that also accept this as fact. Patrick became popular by his abilities to explain complex ideals to the common man. Answer:St. Patrick was God-Fearing man. Legend tells us that he was kidnapped in his teens, forced to work as a shepherd for his captors animals. It is told that God talked to him and gave him hope for the journey. Patrick eventually got away, and went to Dublin. He taught about the trinity using a Shamrock, or three leaf clover. The Trinity is the Catholic belief of three persons in one God; The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Being a devout Catholic, I also believe in this as the truth behind the story. St. Patrick built Cathedrals and many architectural creations like statues, and drove the snakes out of Ireland. This is why I believe he was canonized as a Saintly man
What is the story of St. Patrick?
When Patrick was young he was kidnapped by Irish slave-traders and taken to Ireland. Patrick's life had been very easy before this as his Father was very high up in authority. When he was in Ireland Patrick was sold to a Tribal leader to work as a shepherd. He had been working as a shepherd for six years not coming into contact with any humans in that time. He had become devoted to God and had begun to pray 100 times a day and again at night. One day whilst Patrick was washing in a spring he had a vision from God saying that there was a boat waiting to take him home. Patrick ran away, managing to evade any of the tribe trying to catch him and returned to England.(More to be added later...)
