You might be wondering who St. Patrick is, and understandably so. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, best known for bringing Christianity to the land during the fifth century. He was born in Roman Britain and was kidnapped at the age of 16 to be brought to Ireland as a slave. After escaping, he later returned to Ireland to bring Christianity to its people after using his challenging years to discover his Christian faith.
Legends surrounding St. Patrick’s death grew as time went on, and his life became more embedded in Irish culture. The most well-known tale about St. Patrick is when he explains the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit using a shamrock with three leaves.
