The humble beginnings of Patrick

It may come as a surprise to readers that St. Patrick hailed from the shores of Britain, not Ireland. Born into a Roman family, Patrick lived at home until the age of 16 when Irish raiders tore him away and sold him into slavery where he spent the next six years as a shepherd. It was during this time he turned to faith, finding comfort in the Lord and Saviour. His return to Britain was short-lived, not because of imprisonment, but religious duty. Years later, he travelled to Ireland as a missionary, sharing God’s work to all those who would listen.
