Product Highlights
The Confession of St. Patrickis the first known document written in Ireland, and contains over 200 quotes from Scripture. This autobiography from the patron Saint of Ireland is a short collection of his memories and ideas on the Christian faith written in the fifth century. About the Author Saint Patrick (c. 387 – 493) was a Christian missionary, who is the most generally recognized patron saint of Ireland. Patrick was born in Roman Britain at Banna Venta Berniae. Calpornius, his father, was a deacon, his grandfather Potitus a priest. When he was about 14 he was captured from Britain by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years as a herdsman before escaping and returning to his family in England. After entering the Church, he returned to Ireland as an ordained bishop in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked.By the eighth century he had come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland. March 17, popularly known as St. Patrick's Day, is believed to be his death date and is the date celebrated as his feast day. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated both in and outside of Ireland, as both a liturgical and non-liturgical holiday. In the dioceses of Ireland it is a both a solemnity and a holy day of obligation and outside of Ireland, it can be a celebration of Ireland itself. For most of Christianity's first thousand years, canonisations were done on the diocesan or regional level. Relatively soon after the death of people considered to be very holy people, the local Church affirmed that they could be liturgically celebrated as saints. As a result, St. Patrick has never been formally canonized by a Pope; nevertheless, various Christian churches declare that he is a Saint in Heaven (he is in the List of Saints). He is still widely venerated in Ireland and elsewhere today.
