Saint Patrick: A Life from Beginning to End

De: Hourly History

Narrado por: Mike Nelson

Just who was Saint Patrick? Many know him as the figure behind the huge festival of fun and drinking that takes place every year on March 17. But look a little more closely and see that there is more to the patron saint of Ireland than meets the eye.

Inside, you will hear about:

• From slave to bishop
• The feast at Tara
• Ireland’s first martyr
• Letter to the soldiers of Coroticus
• Confessio: a brief look
• The death of Saint Patrick
• And much more!

Saint Patrick will amaze as listeners embark on a journey of tough beginnings, holy power, and a story of overcoming adversity to change a nation. Take a look at the saint who devoted his life to bringing Christianity to an entire nation - and succeeded after much difficulty. The saint we know as the reason for a holiday is much more significant than people know.

Hagiography, not History

I was hoping for more history and less hagiography. Even I know much of this is a historical.
