In the 34th episode of Pastor Lance Ralston's Church History series, we get a glimpse at the advance of Christianity on the island of Ireland We chart the early life of Patricius, born Maewyn Succat, from the time he was captured by Irish slavers from his British-Roman noble family, to the time he returned to the Emerald Isle to spread the word of God. We examine his struggles against the Celtic Druids, and even his eventual betrayal by many of those who witnessed his rise to bishop of the Irish church. From his humble beginnings to one of the most revered national figures in the realm of sainthood, Patrick Patricius is an enduring figure in Irish or Celtic Christianity, responsible for some of its religious syncretism that set it apart from its mainland progenitor.
