St. David healed people fom blindness, by simple healling of chronic conjunctivitis by herbal concerntrated healing herbal juices placed on the eyes, and lameness by set broken leg bones and simply physiotherapy, as it is know now, nothing more dramatic. An incredible superbe man for his age - well ahead of his time.
WELL actuly he was born i south wales. he was fishing and set adrift to ireland. mind you he did have the recepie for welsh Whisky in his pocet at the time. try reading The Mabanogion. it's realy good book!. full of gorie deatales aswell.
Well their wrong, sorry m8 but the storry has always been that he was kidnapped by an Irish rader on the coste of Scotland as a yung teenager. only racently have they said that he was from wales & was called ti just get up & go ti Ireland. He came back after he escaped from the hostles that captured him.
@catholicrik This is a pubic forum, where what you 'believe' can get challenged by the evidence,
Ireland was converted before Scotland,
Scotland was converted later by Saint Columba.
It is disputed whether Saint Patrick was a Gaul, a Briton or Romano Welsh... but there is no evidence he was Scottish, as Scotland was still a Pict land.
Scotland's great, it just didn't convert Ireland to Christianity, it was the other way round.
I'm not gunna even bother readin that. thets just act like adults for a moment please, k. I'll be the good guy & stop leavin comments likw, but I don't want shit talked about me on this just because I'm not here to deffend myself!
what makes you think I'm not?? It's not that its an argument or not! It's that the truth of St.Patrick being from Scotland, that has been prooven! your's hasn't! & I will not listen untill you have some for me!! Nor will I sit here & be ridiculed for my beleafes!!
I did find just one link that suggested he might be Scottish...

Your profile say American, not Ireland, Scotland, Wales or Cornwall.
If I was American, I'd be proud of America, not my distant ancestors country. As it is I'm true Celt.
@catholicrik so how ignorant do you have to be? WE have our BELIEFS too yknow so please stop making a bloody fool of yourself and just accept that we have our own opinions and that you are just as likely to be lieing to yourself as we are so please just be mature.
the irish did not convert the scots. the scots were an irish tribe who crossed the sea and eventually took over the "pictish" culture. there are very very few people in scotland who are descended from the picts. christianity travelled from wales to ireland with patrick (gaffod), and from ireland to pictland through columba. columba's penance was to set up a monastery so that the scots didn't turn pagan. columba is the scottish patron saint. not a greek fisherman.
@kilomeister I don't personally know enough about that to disagree with you, though the view on 'Wiki' is that the Irish were absorbed into Pictish culture, and that the Picts are the principle ancestors of the modern Scots. But it's Wikipedia, and I could see no reference for that claim.
I suspect modern DNA tracing techniques could answer that question convincingly.
@kilomeister no thats not quite correct,the scots {irish} people were a irish tribe that invaded mainly the mid western side of scotland and changed the language from brythonic {early/old welsh} into gaelic within that area.Most of indigenous scottish people are a mix of brythonic and scots with also some roman ,viking and norman of course
@catholicrik The consensus of opinion is that Patrick was a native of what is now called Wales. In Patrick's time, he was simply a Brythonic speaking Briton from what is now Wales. Wales had been heavily Romanized and had become a centre of Western Christianity. St. Patrick died circa 460 A.D. The Scots didn't arrive in Britain until around 450 A.D., so one thing's for sure...he wasn't a Gaelic Scot.
Patrick was a Christianized Briton. He would have spoken a form of Welsh.

How much is known is known about his mother, Saint Non? (I'm guessing that's how it's spelt!).

@catholicrik No he was not Scottish!
Most people agree he was of Romano-Welsh origin, though the raiders part is right.
It was the Irish who converted Scotland (the Picts)

Interesting recital of the legend. The symbolism shows the links between the old practices and the Christianity practiced by the Celtic peoples.
