St. Patrick's Day 101

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Wales about AD 385, his given name was Maewyn. At age 16 he was sold into slavery by Irish marauders. He originally considered himself a pagan but while in captivity he became closer to God.

After six years in slavery he escaped and went to Gaul where he studied under St. Germain, bishop of Auxerre for a period of twelve years. During his training he became aware that his calling was to return to Ireland, to convert the native pagans to Christianity.

Legend of the Shamrock

As Saint Patrick was travelling from village to village in Ireland several members of a tribe told him that they found it difficult to understand and believe in the Holy Trinity. Saint Patrick thought a moment, then stooped down and picked one of the plentiful shamrocks growing wild around Ireland.

"Here are three leaves," he said, "yet it is one plant. Imagine the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as each of these leaves. Here they are separate, yet they are one plant."


Until her death in 2002, the Queen Mother presented a bowl of shamrocks to the Irish Guards, a regiment of the British Army.


Some very famous authors were Irish. Did you know that James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett, William Butler Yeats, Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde were all Irish?
