The autobiography of st. Patrick.

St. Patrick was born in Great Britain, the year AD 387. He was captured by pirates and got taken to Ireland and he was sold off to a chief when he was 16 years old. He was a slave for 6 years to his master. When he was sleeping an angel appeared and told him to go back to Great Britain so he got up and started running to the boat. After many days he finally reached home and lived happily for a long time and where he was learning how to become a priest. He went back to Ireland on a missionary trip. One day he was going with his friends to town and the chief stopped them and asked '' What are you doing here? This is my territory!'' 
Patrick said he was there to spread the news about Jesus. The chief got annoyed and tried to swing his sword to threaten Patrick and his friends but his arm got stuck and he realised he was a holy man and that Jesus was real and accepted God in his heart. A barn that belonged to the chief was turned into a monastery, church and retreat centre by Bishop Patrick. He asked to meet all the other chieftains. The chief said they will be having a feast the following Sunday and invited him to come and meet  them all. The chieftain got baptised because he was so impressed. And allowed his son Benin, to join Patrick. Before the feast celebrations, the chieftain said to the whole entire village to not light any fire. But bishop Patrick lit a candle on the slain hill because it was the eve of Easter Sunday. The chieftain and the king didn't like it and were ordered to put the light out. The tribe started praying to put the fire out. Strong winds and rain started to happen. A dark cloud appeared also but the fire was still lit. Bishop patrick started praying and the cloud disappeared. After his meeting with the chieftains he was given the ''okay'' to go all around Ireland and spread the good news about Jesus.After much success Saint Patrick was fasting and went to the top of the pagan eagle mountain to pray and give thanks.
