Description:

St. Patrick may be the most popular, yet least-known, figure in Christian history. Each year revelers hold parties and parades to celebrate his day, but the average person likely has no idea who Patrick of Ireland truly was. St. Patrick: Pilgrimage to Peace unearths the true story of this fifth-century Christian who was brought as a slave to Ireland, where he labored six long years before finally escaping. But after returning home, Patrick shocked his contemporaries by voluntarily returning to the place of his enslavement in order to bring the gospel message to the Irish people. Go beyond the legends and clichés to discover the real St. Patrick, a man whose life continues to call us to the peace of Christ.
