In the book known as "The Tripartite Life of Patrick" based on the account by his nephew, the Life of S. Patrick was read in every Church in Ireland in the three days up to his Feast Day on 17th March, throughout the Ages of Faith. These stories entered the folklore and, until the advent of television, were intimately known to all the people of the Irish nation. As will happen, some stories, later than this, embroidered the original narrative, sometimes with rather silly episodes. But the accounts on this website have ancient authority and are, we believe, the exact truth. If any proof were needed, if anybody will not accept the testimony of witnesses, the proof lies in the subsequent 1550 years of Irish history. In the words of the psalm: "He hath not done thus for every nation". Let us renew our intercessions to our great Patron Saint, a giant among giants of the Faith, in these troublesome times. Amen!
