Saint Patrick Coloring Page

Patrick wasn’t born in Ireland. He was born in Roman Britain, and when he was about 16 he was kidnapped by raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave. After about six years he escaped. Later he chose to go back as a missionary.

The story that he drove the snakes out of Ireland is a legend, and Ireland never had snakes to begin with. The shamrock is linked to him because he is said to have used its three leaves to explain the Trinity. His feast day is March 17.
