St Patrick was born in England. His real name was Maewyn Succat. When he was 16 he was captured by pirates and he was taken to Ireland. He was a slave in Ireland and had to look after sheep and pigs. He prayed a lot every day. He escaped Ireland after 6 years and went to France. He got really hungry so he prayed for food and some pigs appeared for him to eat. He became a Priest and then a Bishop. He returned to Ireland and taught people about God. He used a shamrock to teach about the father, son and holy spirit. St Partick was 74 when he died on 17th March.
