Saint Patrick or patron saint of Ireland is a Scottish evangelist which converts the Irish populate to Christianity in the fifth century. The legend told that he exposed to the king the concept of Sainte Trinity with a shamrock (the emblem of Ireland and Saint Patrick’s Day). 

 Saint Patrick was born in Britain in 385. His real name was Maewyn Sucatt. When he was 16, he was captured and taken to Ireland as a slave and sold to a local landowner named Meliuc. He served as a slave shepherding sheep for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland and begins to evangelize at the request of the Pope Celestine. In later life, he served as an ordained bishop and after he becomes to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland. According to the legend after the king’s conversion Saint Patrick hunted all the snakes in the country, it was the symbol of the Irish conversion to Christendom.
