St Patrick...patron saint of Eire. In fact was born in what is now called Cumbria. He was stolen by Pirates from the emerald isle and became a slave . While serving as a slave he met with God and was converted.The town of Aspatria in Cumbria was named after him.It is said he rid Eire of snakes,I often wonder what kinds of snakes were in that country, could the term snakes be allegorical for non beleiving Chieftains who were converted to Christianity.
