12) ST. PATRICK'S DAY
St. Patrick's Day honours Ireland's patron saint, who brought Christianity to a pagan
nation. On the 17th of March the Irish celebrate the anniversary of his death. Many
scholars think that there must have been at least two Patricks. The patron saint of
Ireland was not Irish by birth or the origin of his parents. Magnus Sucatus Patricius
was born in 386. His father was a high-ranking town official. One day he was
captured by pirates and sold as a slave to Ireland. He spent six years in slavery and
then he escaped by hiding on a ship which sailed to France. He entered a monastery
and wanted to study religion. He wanted to become a free man and a missionary. He
became a priest, then a bishop. He returned to Ireland to bring Christianity to people.
