Who Is Saint Patrick?
In his writings, Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, often talks about “being looked down upon” or “despised in the eyes of many.” Even so, he is celebrated in Irish culture as one of the most influential evangelists of Christianity. Two hundred years after he began his mission to convert Irish pagans to Christianity, the entire nation had found Christ. Of this, St. Patrick said: “How is it that in Ireland, where they never had any knowledge of God but, always, until now, cherished idols and unclean things, they are lately become a people of the Lord, and are called children of God… the Irish and the daughters of the chieftains are to be seen as monks and virgins of Christ.”
Much of what we know about the story of St Patrick was passed down through the generations by a famous bard named St. Fiacc. It is believed that Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents toward the end of the fourth century. His father, Calpurnius, was a deacon who enjoyed the tax benefits of religious life, although there is no evidence he was particularly devout. His mother, Concess, was a Frank and a close relative of St. Martin of Tours. When Patrick was sixteen years old, Rome called on all British soldiers to sweep Rome of “barbarians,” which left Britain wholly unarmed. Violent Irish raiders passed through the land and attacked the family estate, killing Patrick’s father and selling Saint Patrick into slavery.
Following his six years in captivity, Saint Patrick experienced several powerful visions and dreams that awakened him to his cause in life. After fifteen years of training to become a priest, Patrick was finally ordained in Britain and returned back to Ireland to convert more to the Christian faith. Since he was familiar with the Irish culture and language, Patrick was able to connect their familiar rituals and traditions with the lessons of Christianity, which really appealed to the natives. He used bonfires to celebrate Easter, since the Irish used fire to worship their gods, for instance. He put the sun — a powerful Irish symbol — onto the Christian cross (which is now called the Celtic Cross) to make a meaningful symbol for their new faith. Some say he used the three-leafed clover to talk about “the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
While there is some dispute as to St. Patrick’s date of death, it is most widely believed to be on March 17th, in or around 460 A.D. Patrick is said to be buried at Down Cathedral in Downpatrick (County Down), along with St. Brigid and St. Columba — the other two patron saints of Ireland. Of course, no one has exhumed the bodies to validate this claim. Today visitors to Ireland can see the Saint Patrick Visitor Centre in Downpatrick, which features interactive displays on the story of St Patrick.
