Saint Patrick was born in Roman Britain. He was a patron saint from Ireland and lived during the 5th century. He is believed to have died on March 17, 461. He was kidnapped at the age of 16 and brought to Ireland as a slave. Although he managed to escape, he returned to Ireland, bringing along with him Christianity for its people. Saint Patrick's day is now being celebrated for more than 1000 years. Saint Patrick explained the Holy Trinity using the Shamrock(three leaves of native Irish clover).
