Patrick, St (c. 389–c. 461)

Patron saint of Ireland. Born in Britain, probably in South Wales, he was carried off by pirates to six years' slavery in Antrim, Ireland, before escaping either to Britain or Gaul to train as a missionary. He is variously said to have landed again in Ireland in 432 or 456, and his work was a vital factor in the spread of Christian influence there. His symbols are snakes and shamrocks; his feast day is 17 March.

Patrick is credited with founding the diocese of Armagh, of which he was bishop, though this was probably the work of a ‘lost apostle’ (Palladius or Secundinus). Of his writings, only his Confessio and an Epistola survive.
