Paddy’s Day<br />
While many of us take part in<br />
celebrating St Patrick's Day,<br />
there are probably few<br />
New Zealand's who know much<br />
about the Patron Saint of Ireland<br />
KNOWN as the ‘Apostle of Ireland’, St<br />
Patrick is one of the world’s most popular<br />
saints.<br />
Enslaved as a young teen by pagans and<br />
Druids, he turned to God while in captivity.<br />
Escaping at age 20, he returned to his<br />
family and began studying for the<br />
priesthood.<br />
He preached throughout Ireland<br />
converting many for 40 years. During his<br />
teachings he often used shamrocks to<br />
explain the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy<br />
Spirit.<br />
He died at Saul, the site of the first<br />
church he built, on March 17.<br />
St Patrick’s Day commemorates his<br />
death.<br />
