Saint Patrick, who was born in fourteenth century, is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16. He later escaped, but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people. In the centuries following Patrick’s death, probably on 17 March 461, many legends grew up around Patrick and he became Ireland's foremost saint. Perhaps the most well-known legend is that he explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaves of a native Irish clover, the shamrock.More info: http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=89
