St. Patrick’s Day

Who is St. Patrick?

It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. He is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 A.D. Although his father was a Christian Deacon,it has been suggested that he probably took on the role because of tax incentives and there is no evidence that Patrick came from a Particularly religious family. At the age of 16, Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family’s estate. They transported him to Ireland where he spent six years in captivity
