SAINT PATRICK

                                                             SAINT PATRICK

                                  “Be still and know that I am God.
                                   Be still and know that I am.
                                   Be still and know.
                                   Be still.
                                   Be.” 
                                                ― St. Patrick

                                                               Saint Patrick was born in Scotland
                                      in 387 A.D. to Roman parents.
                                      When he was fourteen years old,
                                      St. Patrick was captured by a raiding
                                      party and was taken to Ireland to 
                                      serve as a slave.

                                      When he was twenty years old, 
                                      Patrick escaped from his captors
                                      and returned to his parents in Britain.
                                      During this period of his life, St. Patrick
                                      had a dream in which the people of 
                                      Ireland called out to him to "come and
                                      walk among us once more."

                                      St. Patrick went, and stayed in Ireland
                                      for over forty years, converting many
                                      to the Christian faith. He died at Saul,
                                      County Down, Ireland on March 17,
                                      461 A.D.
