Saint Patrick’s Day in Dublin, Ireland — Saint Patrick’s Parade

<p>Two years ago, I went on my <a href="https://travelforawhile.com/things-to-do-in-dublin/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">first trip to Dublin</a> in time for Saint Patrick’s Day. The St. Patrick’s Parade was one of the highlights of my trip (along with a pub tour, of course).</p> <h2>About St. Patrick</h2> <p>Patrick was born in Roman Britain in the 4th century AD, in a Christian family. When he was 16, he was kidnapped and sold as a slave in Ireland. In the six years of being a slave, Patrick’s faith increased. In his autobiography, Patrick mentions he had a vision while sleeping on how to escape slavery. He did that and managed to get back to his family. He studied to become a priest and, some years later, returned to Ireland. Bringing Christianity to Ireland became his life’s mission. That’s the story of Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@travelforawhile/saint-patricks-day-in-dublin-ireland-saint-patrick-s-parade-a6c112de99a9"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
