St. Patrick was born in Britain, but as a young boy was captured and sold into slavery in Ireland. After six years he was able to escape, but the time as a shepherd had given him time to think and he had converted to Christianity. He became a priest and bishop and then returned to Ireland in order to preach to the Irish pagans. He is the patron saint of engineers and of Ireland.
