Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. When Patrick was in his teens he was kidnapped to Ireland and spent six years there in captivity working as a shepherd. When Patrick escaped he returned to Britain where he became a priest and then a bishop. Patrick returned to Ireland as a missionary to share God's love with the Irish people.
