Who was Saint Patrick? This new documentary film delves beneath the myth of Ireland's patron saint to reveal that the patron saint of Ireland was an ordinary man who accomplished the extraordinary by placing his faith in God. Precious few historical facts are known of this man who walked through pre-Christian 5th century Ireland. Two documents written by Patrick, the Confession and his Letter to Coroticus, an Irish warlord, are all that remain. Yet these brief writings captured his emotional state, his innermost feelings and aspirations. Exquisitely filmed on location in Ireland, and using dramatic wide-screen black and white re-creations, SAINT PATRICK: APOSTLE OF IRELAND, visually traces the great...

  • Thanks to this supposed "Patron Saint", the only snakes to be feared by the English is that fucking gimp, the Viper! Fuck that shit, we need to bring back the snakes!!! I'm going to start a smuggling/breeding campaign, for the sake of Ireland!! They're also very nutritious food source, snake head, tail, soup etc etc...Bobby Sands would have gotten all the necessary vitamins he needed, saving his life...another example of how Snakes could have helped the Irish people..

  • He'd be the first to tell you, Compton may aswell be a tourist resort compared to anaconda infested woods!!! Samuel L. Jackson is another motherfucker who couldn't handle the motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking green pastoral plains of Ireland!!! Freddy Mercury, musical legend and a God among men, was himself killed by a trouser snake!! Caught the HIV venom...so if these badass legends tried and failed against snakes, am I meant to believe a nation of Jamie Oliver loving fags would be?

  • There's no one more responsible in Irish history for the Brits colonial rule in Ireland! Why the fuck did he get rid of all those snakes!? Was he some Margaret Thatcher loving, undercover black and tan!? The Brits would never have invaded Ireland if there were poisonous snakes! Have you ever seen Anaconda!?! You think the Brits would wanna fuck with that sorta shit!?! Ice Cube, the Nigga with Attitude, needed the help of a woman to kill just one of those things!

  • Um...read his letters. Patrick's letters and Confessions of Patrick - which he wrote before he died. He wasn't Irish. He was kidnapped by Irish Pirates and kept as a slave in Ireland. His own words.

  • @thecrusades2 if u believe everything on the internet then you are an idiot, st patrick was most likely from wales or england, even the church isnt sure so how would u know,he wasnt born in ireland but he is irish, he lived there most of his life and loved the irish so u could say he changed his nationality. stop trying to claim things that are irish for scotland he has nothing to do with scotland get your own. st patrick's day is one of the most celebrated holidays in the world cuz he is irish

  • The origins of St Patrick are not certain & there is uncertainty even in the Church over his origins, it is most likely he was from Wales & was British, he preached to the native Gaels who were originally from Iberia not British.

    The Gaelic Church brought Christianity to many parts of Britain & Europe & founded many monastries which developed into modern European cities.

    The Gaelic have contributed greatly towards European civilisation especially during the dark ages.

  • i have to do a report on him and im not even catholic

  • his fathe was from scotland

  • "He was always giving tanks", so he armed the Irish?
