' Tradition sets his birthplace in Wales about 3S0. r'lle cam? to Ireland as a prisoner, carried off at the "age of! 6 by a band of Irish marauders, who raided Britain under the Irish king, Xiall Xoigiallach. fci... For sjx years he was a swineherd in Antrim be- fore he escaped to France in a vessel carrying Irish wolf-dogs for export. It was in France he was prepared for his life in the church. He was consecrated in 482 and sent by Pope Celestine to combat heresy in Ireland. Here he came into opposition with the son of the king w ho had kidnapped him, and fought the paganism of the Druids. He is said to have overthrown a famous idol in the plains of County Cavan. It was St, Patrick who made the shamrock Ireland's emblem. Challenged during a speech at Tara as to the mystery of the Trinity, he stooped to -.earth and picked a shamrock, holding it up to prove . 'the possibility of three in one and one in three. There are no snakes in Ireland because according to leg-end St Patrick drove them out Today Ireland has none, though reptiles are found in Scotland and England. He is credited with having founded 8x churches and baptized "iih hrs own hand "some 12,000 people in Ireland. He was buried in Abbey Saul in County Down, in 161. . Whatever the truth may be, it is certain that St, Patrick was both intensely spiritual and strong in action. The enthusiasm that carried him through all difficulties as a missionary priest and bishop ITIhas been so infectious that after centuries his .-lnemory is -as green as the shamrock that all good Irishmen will wear on the l,4SSth Celebration of -his dav. - (owid I irfllr iraka un-lif, rur ' compass to kindness. .
