Legend has it that *Patrick was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave, escaped, only to return later and bring Christianity to Ireland. He explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaf clover, Ireland's shamrock! March 17th is thought to have been the day he died, in 461. Whether true or not, I am thankful Christianity was brought to Ireland and that many may know Christ Jesus as Lord & Savior today!
I found this info on the History Channel website but since then a dear friend posted a link on Facebook that has ACCURATE information! So, please take time to go to Christian Answers.net and read all about this wonderful saint!
Sorry for all the wacky confusion of the post being up, then down, and now back up :)
Have a great day in the Lord!
They read the story of St. Patrick when we went to library story hour this week. It was kind of advanced for the twins, but I enjoyed it.
