Saint Patrick (Latin: Patricius; Irish:
Pádraig [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ]) was a
fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in
Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the
primary patron saint of Ireland, along with saints Brigit of Kildare
and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old
Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church as
equal-to-apostles and the Enlightener of Ireland....
...Legend
credits St. Patrick with teaching the Irish about the doctrine of the
Holy Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a three-leafed plant,
using it to illustrate the Christian teaching of three persons in one
God. This story first appears in writing in 1726, though it may be
older. The shamrock has since become a central symbol for St
Patrick's Day.
In pagan Ireland, three was a
significant number and the Irish had many triple deities, a fact
that may have aided St Patrick in his evangelisation efforts
when he "held up a shamrock and discoursed on the Christian
Trinity". Patricia Monaghan says there is no evidence that
the shamrock was sacred to the pagan Irish. However, Jack
Santino speculates that it may have represented the regenerative
powers of nature, and was recast in a Christian context. Icons of
St Patrick often depict the saint "with a cross in one
hand and a sprig of shamrocks in the other". Roger Homan writes,
"We can perhaps see St Patrick drawing upon the visual concept
of thetriskele when he uses the shamrock to explain the
Trinity"...
...The version of the details of
his life generally accepted by modern scholars, as elaborated by
later sources, popular writers and folk piety, typically includes
extra details such that Patrick, originally named Maewyn Succat, was
born in 387 AD in (among other candidate locations, see above) Banna
venta Berniae to the parents Calpernius and Conchessa. At the age of
16 in 403 AD Saint Patrick was captured and enslaved by the Irish and
was sent to Ireland to serve as a slave herding and tending sheep in
Dalriada. During his time in captivity Saint Patrick became fluent in
the Irish language and culture. After six years, Saint Patrick
escaped captivity after hearing a voice urging him to travel to a
distant port where a ship would be waiting to take him back to
Britain. On his way back to Britain Saint Patrick was captured again
and spent 60 days in captivity in Tours, France. During his short
captivity within France, Saint Patrick learned about French
monasticism. At the end of his second captivity Saint Patrick had a
vision of Victoricus giving him the quest of bringing Christianity to
Ireland. Following his second captivity Saint Patrick returned to
Ireland and, using the knowledge of Irish language and culture that
he gained during his first captivity, brought Christianity and
monasticism to Ireland in the form of more than 300 churches and over
100,000 Irish baptised...
