Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!!

Don't forget to celebrate this marvelously brave and courageous Saint! There are plenty of St. Patrick legends (Driving all the snakes out of Ireland, Using the clover to describe the trinity), surronding this real person, but they all make great faith stories and teaching stories.

Like I said, Patrick was a real person living in the late 4th century to mid 5th century. And his life was probably quite different than you think if you've never looked into who he is, such as he wasn't actually Irish!

There are 2 letters he wrote the contents of which have survived to this day. You can find these letters at Wikisource, or in audio book format at LibriVox (You should definitely check out this reader!). You can also check out encyclopedia entries about St. Patrick at Wikipedia and New Advent.

Go check him out, he was an outstanding evangelist of the Christian faith!

Paix du Christ!
