Saint Patrick (c. 385–461 AD) was a Christian missionary and the patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders as a teenager and enslaved in Ireland. After escaping, he became a priest and later returned to Ireland to spread Christianity. He is credited with using the three-leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity and driving the “snakes” (a metaphor for paganism) out of Ireland. His feast day, March 17, is celebrated worldwide with parades, wearing green, and honoring Irish heritage.
