the 4th century in Great Britain.
- His parents were
very rich.
- His father was also a Christian deacon
for reasons of tax incentives. When
Maewyn was about sixteen, his family and
home were attacked by Irish invaders.
- Maewyn was abducted and forced
to become a slave working as a
pastor in County Mayo in Ireland. It
was during his time as a slave that
he turned to God. He had a dream
one night to escape the next day
and travel back home to Britain.
- After almost thirty years of teaching
and spreading the word of God, he
died on March 17, 461 AD. Shortly after
his death, the country of Ireland
decided to remember his death with a
day of his own and was born on St.
Patrick's Day.

- Once he returned, Maewyn had another
dream religious. An angel told him to
become a missionary and propagate
Christianity in Ireland. He then spent the
next fifteen years of formation to become
a priest and chose Patrick as his Christian
saint.
- One of his methods of teaching includes
using the clover to explain the Holy Trinity
(the father, the son and the Holy Spirit) to
the Irish people.
- Originally the color associated with San
Patricio was blue, not green. However over
the years the color green and its association
with St. Patrick's Day grew. Green ribbons
and shamrocks were used in the celebration
of St. Patrick's Day as early as the 17th
century.
