Saint Patrick was not Irish
This is the time of the year when I remind everyone that Saint Patrick
was not Irish, he was Roman. Two Latin letters survive which are generally accepted to have been written by Patrick. These are the Declaration (Latin: Confessio) and the Letter to the soldiers of Coroticus (Latin: Epistola). The Declaration is the more important of the two. In it Patrick gives a short account of his life and his mission. His parents were Calphurnius and Conchessa. The former belonged to a Roman family of high rank and held the office of decurio in Gaul or Britain. Conchessa was a near relative of the great patron of Gaul, St Martin of Tours. In or about his sixteenth year, Patrick was carried into captivity by marauders and was sold as a slave to an Irish chieftan named Milchu in Dalriada, an area in present-day county Antrim. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe |
