Thursday, March 17, 0461. : Today is St Patrick's Day, celebrating the patron saint of Ireland Saint Patrick's Day, celebrated on March 17, is the Irish feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. St Patrick was born around the year 386, in a village along the west coast of Britain. As a teenager, Patrick was captured and taken to Ireland as a slave to a Druidic chieftain named Milchu. His enslavement significantly strengthened his faith. He escaped at the age of twenty-two, and spent twelve years in a monastery in Auxerre, where he adopted the name Patrick (Patricius, in Old Irish spelled Pádraig). One night he heard voices begging him to return to Ireland, and thus he became one of the first Christian missionaries in Ireland. Missionaries such as Secundus and Palladius had been active in Ireland, but Patrick made a greater impact, travelling throughout the country preaching, teaching, building churches, opening schools and monasteries, converting chiefs and bards, and everywhere supporting his preaching with miracles. It is believed that St Patrick died on 17 March 461. St Patrick's Day has grown in importance through the centuries, to the point where countries around the world, as well as Ireland itself, celebrate with parades and festivities. ![]() |
