The story of Saint Patrick

Megan Murphy

In 441 AD, St. Patrick, also known as a missionary and bishop in Ireland, was climbing up towards the summit of Crokepatrick Hill in County Mayo to fast and to pray.

For 40 days and 40 nights. St Patrick stayed on the hill and fasted and prayed as he was spiritual and thought it was a way to convert the Irish people to Christianity which is why this hill is called Croke Patrick now. But during this something happened.

During St. Patrick’s fast, he was attacked by a group of snakes. He had also claimed that he had seen demons from his perfect view at the summit of Croke Patrick. He was also attacked by demonic birds, but got rid of them by ringing a bell.

St. Patrick had chased all snakes out of Ireland and banished all demons and monsters out of Ireland forever.

The people of Ireland are happy that they are free from all snakes and demons that were left in Ireland and praise St Patrick for what he’s done.

All of the people of Ireland converted to Christianity as that is what St Patrick was.
