"barin".

Faith in God, according to
Patrick, came to him in
slavery, when he every day
praying for save.
Returning to his home,
Patrick plunged into
religious life and, it is
believed, spent several
years in the monasteries of
Galee , where he became a
bishop.

After a while, Patrick again
heard a voice in his dream,
which urged him to return to
Ireland and bring the light of
Catholicism there.
Legends say that Patrick
traveled to Ireland and
baptized up to a hundred
people.

It is believed that Patrick used
the example of a clover leaf to
explain the principle of
Christianity; as three leaves
have grown together on one
stem, so the Father, the Son,
and the Saint. Since then, the
shamrock has become a
symbol of Ireland.
Another legend tells that St.
Patrick drove the snakes out
