St. Patrick (Catholic translator St. Byrd) (386-461 AD) was the patron saint of Ireland and a Catholic saint. He was born in Wales and was kidnapped to Ireland as a slave during his youth, but later fled. He risked his life to return to Ireland and spread Catholicism, becoming the Bishop of Ireland and later becoming a saint.
Bode (Patrick) was born around 386 in England (possibly in Scotland or Wales). At that time, Christianity (Roman Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church) had just been established as the state religion of the Roman Empire in 380. England was part of the Roman Empire, while Ireland was not part of the Roman Empire and was still in a primitive era, not believing in Catholicism. Bode's grandfather was a priest (at that time priests could get married), and his father was a church deacon. However, he was very rebellious from a young age, did not believe in God, and did not study seriously.
Until the age of 16, he felt like a non believer in God, let alone a saint. Coincidentally, his village was robbed by a group of robbers, and he himself was sold as a slave. During those difficult days of imprisonment, his relationship with Catholicism gradually became closer. Six years later, he escaped and went to a monastery in Gale, where he studied under Father Jemon, the Bishop of Oakley, for 12 years. During this period, he became acutely aware of his mission, which was to make more non believers Christians. So, he had a strong impulse to return to Ireland, hoping to make his fellow countrymen believe in God, but his abbot hired Father Pilate until two years later when Pilate went to Scotland. Bode was only hired as the second Bishop of Ireland.
Bode's missionary work was very successful, but it also angered the priests of the Celtic Deid religion. They arrested and imprisoned Patrick multiple times, but each time he successfully escaped. His missionary footsteps spread throughout Ireland, and he presided over the construction of many monasteries throughout the country. He also built many schools and churches, which helped him achieve his ideal of making the entire Irish nation believe in Jesus Christ.
Saint Byrd was born around 373 AD and was originally a child living on the island of Great Britain. At the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave to Ireland. During his six years of imprisonment, he became a shepherd. In this difficult life, he relied on the power of religion to overcome it; He constantly prays to God every day, hoping that one day he can return to his hometown land. During a prayer one night, a voice came to his ears, telling him to quickly escape from the shepherd's farm. There was a boat waiting for him on the shore about 200 miles away from the farm. Therefore, he and a few companions rowed a boat together to escape Ireland and make landfall on the European continent, about what is now France. During this period of escape, his miracles gradually emerged, leaving behind many magical legends. For example, whenever they were hungry, wild animals would appear nearby, allowing them to continue living. Later, when Saint Byrd returned to Ireland to promote religion, more magical legends surrounded him. Throughout his life, St. Byrd stayed in Ireland, bringing the light of religion to every corner of the island, establishing churches and schools to educate the people. There are many churches and schools in Ireland named after him. Therefore, in memory of the saint who guarded them, the Irish celebrated his death on March 17th, Set as one of the most important festivals in Ireland, St. Patrick's Day Another theory is that in 432 AD, St. Patrick was sent by the Pope to Ireland to persuade Irish people to convert to Catholicism. After he landed from Wecklow, angry pagans in the area attempted to stone him to death. However, St. Byrd was not afraid and immediately picked a clover, vividly illustrating the doctrine of the Trinity of the Father, Son, and God. His eloquent speech deeply moved the Irish people and they accepted St. Patrick's teachings The grand baptism. On March 17, 493 AD, St. Patrick passed away, and in honor of him, the Irish designated this day as St. Patrick's Day.
St. Patrick's Day also has some representative symbols, such as Shamrocks, which usually have three heart-shaped leaves connected together, and the legendary Leprechauns. Saint Patrick used a sorrel with three heart-shaped leaves to explain the important doctrine of the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - to the Irish people of that time. Therefore, sorrel has become a symbol of Ireland, and now the discovery of four leaf sorrel is a symbol of luck. In addition, the Green Cloaked Dwarves are characters from Irish legends. They are fairy shoemakers, quick moving little elves about two feet tall. They love to play pranks on people, like tying the shoelaces of two shoes together, causing people to fall as soon as they stand up; Legend has it that these elves hide cans of gold in tree holes. People who want to find gold will follow the sound of the hammer of the shoemaker elf at night to find them and ask them to reveal the location of the hidden gold; Once a person caught an elf and found gold in a tree hole. The person first made a mark on the tree with a red handkerchief, preparing to go back and bring tools to dig for gold. However, when they returned, they couldn't find the tree that hid the gold. It turned out that the elf had tied all the trees with a red handkerchief!
