Saint Patrick's day

Today is  Saint Patrick's day!

History
 Maewyn Succat ( that was Saint Patrick's name) was born in Britain to a rich Christian family. Half of Britain was under Roman control back then. So he was actually Roman! Maewyn was actually not Christian himself. He was stolen by Irish Barbarians when he was 16 and brought to Ireland. He worked for a chief as a slave and there he converted to Christianity. Later he ran away and found a Ship. He persuaded the Captain to let him on and they set sail. The ship landed in Britan. Everyone on it got out. They Traveled for a long time in the wild with nothing to eat. Maewyn urged them to put their faith in Christianity. Then they found pigs. They killed them and ate them. They also found honey. They had food and water as they traveled through the land where there were no people. Then they found people and Maewyn found his Father and Mother. He Stayed with them for years learning Christianity. But then he Changed his name to +Patrick+  and traveled back to Ireland as a missionary. He converted many to Christainty and Churches were made when he left. He was called a Saint. He died on March 17. Today.
