Today is St Patricks Day

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.
