Having Irish ancestry, St. Patrick's Day is more than just an excuse to wear green (although I do wear emearld green alot). It's a chance to look at one of Christianity's more famous saints. Here's some of the interesting facts of St. Patrick's life:- Was born of a wealthy Christian family in Britain in the 4th century A.D.
- Was kidnapped at the age of 16 and sold into salvery.
- After 6 years in slavery he escaped and returned home.
- Once entering the church he became a bishop and returned to Ireland as a missionary.
- He ministered throughout Ireland and started a revival that lasted nearly 400 years.
