St.Patrick was born about 389 A.D. and died around 461 A.D. He lived for 72 years.
He was probably born in Wales. He was captured by the Niall Of The Nine Hostages and he was sold as a slave in Ireland.
After a while he escaped and was ordained a priest and then a bishop.
Then he heard the Irish people calling him to come back and teach them about Jesus. Patrick came to visit Croghan Hill. His horse jumped down the hill.
It is said that the well rose from the ground where the horse had landed.
His horse knelt to drink from the well and left his kneeprint on a stone.
The stone is still there and it is very unlucky to take it away
Big crowds still come to climb Croghan Hill on March 17th each year, this is called St.Patricks Day.
