The life of St. Patrick remains somewhat of a mystery. Some scholars insist that the person, who was to become the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Wales about 385 AD, and his given name was Maewyn. Others believe that apostle of Ireland was born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in 387 AD. Kilpatrick still retains many memorials of Saint Patrick.

It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents Calphurnius and Conchessa near the end of the fourth century. Calphurnius belonged to a Roman family of high rank and held the position of Christian deacon in Gaul or Britain. Conchessa was a near relative of the great patron of Gaul, St. Martin of Tours.

At the age of sixteen, Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family's estate. They transported him to Ireland where he spent six years in captivity. During this time, he worked as a shepherd, outdoors and away from people. Lonely and afraid, he turned to his religion for solace, becoming a devout Christian.

After more than six years as a prisoner, Patrick escaped. To do so, Patrick walked nearly 200 miles. After escaping to Britain, he studied in the monastery under St. Germain, bishop of Auxerre. The course of study lasted more than fifteen years. He became aware that his calling was to convert the pagans of Ireland to Christianity. But his superiors instead appointed St. Palladius. However, two years later, Palladius transferred to Scotland. Patrick, having adopted that Christian name earlier, was then appointed as second bishop to Ireland.

Familiar with the Irish language and culture, Patrick chose to incorporate traditional ritual into his lessons of Christianity instead of attempting to eradicate native Irish beliefs. For instance, he used bonfires to celebrate Easter since the Irish were used to honoring their gods with fire. He also superimposed a sun, a powerful Irish symbol, onto the Christian cross to create what is now called a Celtic cross, so that veneration of the symbol would seem more natural to the Irish.

Patrick was quite successful at winning converts. This fact upset the Celtic Druids. He was arrested several times but always escaped. He traveled throughout Ireland, establishing monasteries across the country. He also set up schools and churches, which would aid him in his conversion of the Irish country to Christianity.

His mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years. After that time, Patrick retired to County Down. He is believed to have died on March 17, around 460 AD. St. Patrick's remains were wrapped in the shroud woven by St. Brigid's own hands. Just like his birth date, the year he has passed out is a mystery. Some sources say he died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 493 AD. At least the exact day of his death is known. So, 17th of March has been commemorated as St. Patrick's Day ever since.

The St. Patrick's Day custom came to America in 1737. That was the first year St. Patrick's Day was publicly celebrated in Boston. 25 years later, Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched through New York City during the St. Patrick's Day parade on March 17, 1762.

Today people celebrate the day with parades, wearing of the green, and drinking Guinness.

St. Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity.

The Roman church official best known for his enthusiastic persecution of the native peoples of Ireland for practicing their ancestral faiths and whose death is celebrated annually by getting piss drunk and wearing particularly unflattering shades of green. His feast day is celebrated most enthusiastically in the United States, often by those who share neither the Saint's faith nor heritage and who seem to have conflated him with the leprechaun from the Lucky Charms cereal box.

st. patrick có nghĩa là

I think St. Patrick actually saved the Irish from the potato famine by following the rainbow to a pot of cereal with marshmallows and a keg of green beer. So the people had cereal with marshmallows and the grown ups drank green beer until they weren’t hungry. Then they picked bouquets of four leaf clovers and danced around to a fiddle music with the rats. - Tressa

Example

Hey, St. Patrick, thanks for the green beer and that thing you did to save all our potatoes!

I never celebrated this day.. Today, as I walked around where I work, I saw a lot of stories about St. Patrick's Day. I was curious so I went online and read about this day. The day before, I bought those items. I don't know if you sensed it.. Could you? Could you send my feelings for you at that moment? Was it why you wrote a lot for me today? Sad posts, happy posts, lovely posts.. and I see "I love you" in every post. I'm sorry for not wrapping it well. I was very busy and had so little time. I really don't know how to wrap.. I could have done better if I had more time. I hope you don't think I belong to "SE - Special Education class" when you saw that Christmas wrapping papper. I have a lot of wrapping papers at home.. but it's all Christmas-related. I know one of your favorite colors is blue.. so I picked blue. Regarding the items are in that box, I wanted to give you something from where I work while I'm still there. Just a memory. I bought everything from there, except for the wrapping paper and the card.. Those items are not big and fancy. The messages are what I want to deliver to you.

Example

It's crazy that I never saw those items before I saw the word "assurance" from your "belongings" post. I wonder if those were messages that God wanted me to deliver to you.. That was why I decided to buy them for you even though I know well that you don't wear those thing. Regarding the mythical creature, I bought one for me also. I keep it with me in my pocket. You are the man who has everything.. I don't know what's else you don't have. I remeber I asked my colleague this question after one of the members from Linkin Park passed away. Me: "He had everything he wanted. Why did he commit suicide?"
My colleague: "Maybe he had everything he wanted, but not everything he needed. You don't know what's going on in people's lives." Anyway, I'm getting sidetrack again.
I didn't see lights were on.. Were you outside? Maybe you were too tired and fell asleep after a long hard day. It was raining heavily. May luck will follow you all year long. I will disappear now...Happy St. Patrick's Day, M..!
