Lots of writings on the internet about Saint Patrick and the Day we celebrate each year.

Here is something that I found:

"Saint Patrick, who lived during the fifth century, is the patron saint of Ireland and its national apostle. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at 16. He later escaped but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people.

"In the centuries following Patrick's death (believed to have been on March 17, 461) , the mythology surrounding his life became ever more ingrained in the Irish culture. Perhaps the most well-known legend of St. Patrick is that he explained the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - using the three leaves of a native Irish clover, the shamrock."

Don't know the contributing writer. At any rate, some of this has a grain of truth to it and he had to have had a life well lived.

Praise God for people like Saint Patrick; with lives well lived!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
