According to Ireland-Now.com (Ireland-Now.com) an online travel guide, the earliest settlers came to Ireland at about 6500 B.C. They were hunter-gatherers that constructed settlements along river valleys in the northern part of the country. By 3500 B.C. the Irish culture had begun to take shape into a more sophisticated agricultural society. In 400 A.D. the island was assimilated by the Celts. In 431 who, according to Catholic Online (Catholic Online), was sent by Pope Celestine, to Ireland as their first bishop to begin the conversion of the Irish peoples to Christianity?

He is the most famous Irish Catholic. He had to have been sent to Ireland to convert the pagans to Christianity. That has to be why we have St. Patrick’s day! Passenger 3. Hmmmmm…. I think I remember hearing somewhere that it was St Andrew. No, wait ,I think He was is the patron Saint for Scotland, wasn’t he? Now I 'm not sure. Passenger 2 Wait!

    Saint Patrick was born in Kilpatrick, Scotland, in the year 387. His parents are Calphurnius and Conchessa. When Patrick was sixteen, he was carried off into captivity by Irish marauders and was sold as a slave to a chieftan named Milchu in Dalriada. In Dalriada, he tended his master’s flocks in the valley of the Braid and on the slopes of Slemish. When he was working the fields, he acquired a perfect knowledge of the Celtic tongue. His master was a druidical high priest, in which gave Patrick an opportunity to become familiar with all the details of Druidism from whose bondage he was destined to liberate the Irish race. Warned by an angel after six years, he fled from his cruel master and bent his steps toward the west. He…

    The patron saint of England, St George, is one of the most recognizable figures in Christian history. Although the iconic story of a knight in a red-crossed tunic valiantly fighting a dragon to save a maiden might not be true, the more accurate depiction of his life presents an inspirational example of a man willing to die for his faith. He is often called “The Protector of England” and gained status after his death as a martyr and defender of the poor.…

    St. Patricks story is a quite dramatized one, it speaks about the great things he has passed through. St. Patrick was one of the first and most influential missionaries to Ireland, bravely entering this superstitious and violent country to bring the healing balm of the gospel. Firstly He was born in Great Britain nearing the end of the fourth century. He was the son of Calpornius, who was a deacon and decurion. Patrick was of a noble birth, he was a Roman citizen. At about the near age of 16 he was captured by barbaric Irish pirates and taken to Ireland where he served as a slave tending to the sheep. During his Shepard time, he was converted to the Lord and then after 6 years, God gave him a dream to leave Ireland for his “ship awaits”. God made St. Patrick travel two hundred miles to where God told him the ship would be and boarded it and set sails back to his homeland in Britain.…

    Patron Saints are “the protecting or guiding saints of a person or place”. They are chosen as special protectors or guardians over areas of life. We have patron saints so that they can intercede prayers to God from us. Patron saints are usually chosen due to their interests. This makes it easier for us to choose our confirmation saint because we may have the same interests as his/her. We have learned that our patron saint is “our best friend in Heaven”. A patron saint can help us to follow the example of God’s life and even their own life.…

    The late eighteenth century marked the beginning of what was to map Ireland’s future through the nineteenth century and to the present day. Ireland at this time was a deeply divided society. Catholic’s and Presbyterians made up eighty five percent of the population, yet they had no power what so ever and were very ill treated. That power belonged to the Church of Ireland. It was they who held all the parliamentary and government jobs. But this was a time in Irish history that was about to see a change. For too long had the lower class been subject to penal laws and below standard conditions. The French revolution rekindled the dream that Ireland could one day become a free and independent nation again. And it was a young protestant lawyer called Theobald Wolfe Tonne, who would go on to be known as the father of Irish republicanism, who ignited the flame in the search for a free Ireland.…

    Analysis Of St. Patrick

    St. Patrick was a fifth century British Christian missionary and is accredited with introducing Christianity to Ireland in 431-2 AD. However this is compromised by the fact that Palladius was the first recorded missionary to be sent to Ireland by pope Celestine to be bishop to the Irish Christian people. Patrick stated that Palladius failed his mission to spread the word to the people because he was hindered by God, however other external documents indicate that Palladius mission was very successful. If we are to take it from the point of view that St. Patrick was the first to introduce Christianity to Ireland then one might say that he succeeded in his mission to spread the word of God and convert Ireland to Christianity. From his Confessio…
