==Life as a Slave==

Born to a rich Roman family in Britain around 385 A.D., he was well educated but was captured at age 15 during a slave raid on the west coast of Britain.  An Irish raider sold him as a slave in Ireland, where he herded animals on Slieve Mish (''Sliabh Mis'') mountain, near Belfast. After six years of this, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening, escaped, and returned to his family but with the intention of returning to Ireland and converting it to Christianity.

Patrick baptized 120,000 Irish and established 300 churches.  According to legend, Patrick banished the snakes from Ireland, as there are no snakes there to this day. Some regard the snakes as a metaphor representing heathen religions.
