Irish Songs - Sheet Music, Lyrics and Music Samples

St. Patrick was born in AD 385 and is the patron saint of Ireland. When he was a teenager he became a slave and while in captivity, he formed a deep relationship with God. He would later on escape and study under the bishop of Auxerre. St. Patrick wanted to convert pagans to Christians and he built monasteries, schools and churches to support his cause. As a result, he was arrested many times but managed to escape. He would die on March 17 AD 461; this day is what we now know as St. Patrick's Day.
