Saint Patrick was born around AD 387 in Kilpatrick, Scotland, into a wealthy family. At sixteen, he was captured by Irish raiders. He spent six years enslaved there, during that time, he became familiar with the customs, rituals, and language of the Druids; the very people he would later return to minister to. Patrick managed to escape and make his way home. Not long after, he began to feel called back to Ireland. He later wrote that he had several dreams in which God spoke to him, urging him to return and share the message of Christ with the people of Ireland. Despite the danger and difficulty, Patrick went back. His missionary work in Ireland became the defining part of his life. He is credited with converting hundreds of thousands, establishing 300 churches, and laying a strong foundation for Christianity across the island. Patrick died on March 17, 461 the date now remembered as St. Patrick’s Day. #History #StPatrick #Holiday #Love #Missionary #Ireland #Gospel #God
