Saint Patrick is born
Succat (also called Patricius due to his patrician background)
circa 372 C.E. in what is now Scotland. He dies in Ireland
on March 17, 466 C.E. |

After being captured
by Irish raiders and working as a slave in Ireland for several
years, Saint Patrick makes a vow to return to Ireland as a
missionary.  FYI: The Irish (Gaeilge or Gaelic) spelling of
Patrick is Padraig or Padraic (as in the Irish revolutionary
leader Padraig Pearse; you can read about Irish independence
here). |
