A bit of St. Patrick

Born in Wales to wealthy parents at the end of the 4th century, at the tender age of 16, Young Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders and whisked across the Irish Sea, Where he spent the next 6 years in captivity working as a lonely Shepard. His religion was his solace and so he became a devout christian. After 6 years, Patrick heard God's voice telling him it was time to leave Ireland, So he escaped from his captors and made his way back home. Here he had another vision from an angel who told him he should go back to preach Christianity to the Irish. After 14 years studying to be a priest, Patrick returned to Ireland where he built churches and spread the Christian faith for the next 30 years until his death on March 17th, 460 AD


St. Patrick used this simple green herb to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, The Father The Son and The Holy Spirit and how they could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of Wearing a Shamrock on his feast day
