| Summary: | Explore how Patrick came to be Ireland's Saint. He was taken from his home in England and dragged across the sea to the Emerald Isle. Eventually he escaped and traveled on the European continent, lived for a while as a monk, and then returned as a missionary to the people who had enslaved him. The story of St. Patrick's life is full of Druids and sorcery, tribal leaders and ancient curses, and the flowering of Ireland. |
