Born in Wales somewhere around AD 385 Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. It's thought he was carried off by pirates and spent six years in slavery before escaping and training as a missionary.
The most famous story about Saint Patrick is him driving the snakes from Ireland. He died on 17th March in AD 461 and this day has since been commemorated as St. Patrick’s Day.
I often wonder how much fact is in such stories, and how much is elaborated for a good story as they get passed down through generations.

ReplyDeleteI settled for coffee and cake with my friend, then a cheeky Asti later!
DeleteI suspect a lot of the stories about St Patrick are fabrications. Lots of Irish locations claim a (probably non-existent) link with St Patrick. It's interesting that although he was born in Wales he's now a patron saint of Ireland!
ReplyDeleteI thought a patron saint of Ireland being born in Wales was a bit odd.
