Most of what we think we know about Patrick turns out to be wrong.
He wasn't Irish, but English.
He never drove snakes out of Ireland – because the island never had any snakes.
He did, however find Ireland 'all heathen, and left it all Christian.'
Kidnapped as a boy, Patrick was a slave for six years in pagan, druid Ireland. He miraculously escaped, only to dream years later that he must go back. By his death in 461, Patrick had founded 300 churches, baptized 120,000 believers, and his followers re-evangelized Europe.
This St. Patrick's Day will have new meaning for all who read this great book by William Federer.
It has been said that Patrick is one of the few figures in recorded history who was directly responsible for the completely non-violent religious conversion of an entire nation.
