Patrick - Patrick English

An Irish monk. Widely revered as the patron saint of Ireland. Born in Scotland, he was invaded by the Irish as a boy and became a slave. After returning to Ireland, he studied theology at the Abbeys of Lerins and Auxerre in France, was ordained a bishop, and evangelized Ireland, which at the time believed in the pagan Druid religion, converting most of the people to Christianity and building many churches and monasteries. He evangelized with a large group of priests, choirboys, livestock farmers, farmers, foresters, blacksmiths, tailors, builders, wine makers, and stonemasons. He is said to have picked a clover, which is his saintly symbol, and preached about the Trinity. In his later years, he wrote a book called "Confessions," which records his life as a missionary. His feast day is March 17th. Lough Derg in central Ireland, where he lived a life of meditation and prayer, is a famous pilgrimage site.

アイルランドの修道士。アイルランドの守護聖者として広く尊崇されている。スコットランドの生まれで、少年のときアイルランド人の侵入を受け、奴隷となる。帰国後フランスのレリン、オークセール修道院で神学を学び、司教に叙せられ、当時ドルイドの異教を信じていたアイルランドに伝道し、大半をキリスト教に改宗させ、多数の教会、修道院を建てた。彼は司祭、聖歌隊、牧畜、農耕、森林の仕事に携わる者、鍛冶(かじ)、裁縫、建築、ワイン醸造、石工などを大ぜい引き連れて布教した。彼の聖者表号であるクローバーを摘んで三位(さんみ)一体を説いたという。晩年自らの伝道の生涯を記録した『告白録』が残っている。この聖者の祝日は3月17日。彼が瞑想(めいそう)と祈りの生活をした洞窟(どうくつ)のあるアイルランド中部のダーグ湖は有名な巡礼地。
