St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ire- land and beloved by all Irish, was supposed to have been born in one of two places, near the site of Kilpatrick, | Scotland, or in a_country known | Armoric., Gaul. Which of the tw places was_his ‘birthplace is not reall known The vear of his birth has He is thought to have been the son of one Calpurnius, a judge or magistrate of a Roman colony, somewhat over 1500 years ago. The' story gocs, according to “The Spadden, that when St. Patrick was 16 years old he, with some others, was stolen and taken in a boat to Ireland and sold as a slave. While looking after his master's sheep he learned the customs and language of the Irish. One day he managed to escape and found his way to his own home. St. Patrick, although of course he was not a saint then, had become so fond of the Irish people while living with them that it was his one desire to re- turn and make them Christians like With and planned for many years. He finally went to Rome to ask permission of Pope Celestine (o go to Ircland for this pur- pose. Permission evidently was grant- ed. because he arrived in Ireland for the second time, somewhere between 432 and 440, The efforts of St. Patrick were crown- ed many schools and monasteri»s. It s said his ministrations lasted over 40 vears, and he was believed io have been about 45 when he started them. He was not, however, ths first mis- slonary who had tried to teach Chris tianity to the Irish people, but those who had gone before him had not met with much success. The Druids, a heathen priesthood, at that time were verv powerful there. The shamrock, a three-leafed plant adopted by the Irish as thelr national with success, and he established ' emblem, has a very closs connection with St. Patrick. It is said that while | preaching he used the triple leaf of | the shamrock te lilustrate the great doctrine of the Trinity. The people would not listen or believe when he first began to talk to them about the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, three per- sons in one God. They became so angry they picked up stones and rocks | to throw at him. But he plucked from the green on which he was standing a three-leaf clover and asked if it were any more strange that three persons should be united in one God than tha three leaves should come from one stem? There have been some disputes to determine the veritable shamrock. Some | writers contend it is what is called O\nlu acetosella, or wood sorrel, the s of which unfold about St. Pat- | ek day, while others contend that | Trifollum "repens, or white clover., is the favored plant. Which of the two disputed plants St. Patrick plucked, the ! bright green leaf of the wood sorrel or the more familiar leaf of the white | clover, cannot now be determined. The | white clover leaf, however, is the one generally worn by Irishmen on St. Patrick's day. The date of St. Patrick’s death is given as March 17. 465. He died a very old and much beloved man. Legends attribute many miracles to St. Patrick. Perhaps the most famous and well known s the ‘one of his | banishing snakes from Ireland. More than one picture has been painted of the snakes fleeing before St Patrick and his uplifted crucifix, or tumbling over rocks into the s The celebration of St. Patrick's day | Is always carried on with much en- thusiasm.
