St Patrick (387-461)
The patron saint of Ireland, Patrick was a Christian Romanized Briton who was captured by Irish pagan slavers in his youth. He spent six years in slavery before escaping with the assistance of an angel, who one night told him to get up and walk to the seashore. He was able to do so unmolested, and there he found a ship whose crew agreed to allow him to travel with them.
Some time afterward, he received a dream in which the people of Ireland were begging him to come back to them as a missionary, which he did, later becoming a bishop.
Perhaps one of the most famous saints, Patrick has many stories and legends attached to him, including using the shamrock to teach about the Trinity, chasing the snakes out of Ireland, and a vision of Hell.
