St Patrick
Patrick, who became the patron saint of Ireland, was born into a Roman ruling family in 390 AD Britain. At the age of 14 he was enslaved by a gang of Irish raiders and spent the next 6 years as a shepherd on a mountain top in County Armagh.
A vision of ships persuaded him to escape. He later studied for the priesthood, was made a bishop, and returned to Ireland as a missionary in 432 AD.
Many Celtic Kings were converted with all of their people. Many legends are told of that time; he banished all snakes (a symbol of evil) from Ireland.
The painting uses many other symbols; the shamrock, (the Trinity), the harp, peacock (Christ) and angels (a calling from God).
The conversion of Ireland to christianity by St Patrick did not destroy the original culture or cause a single martyrdom, in situation unknown in the rest of Europe.
