Walt: explain the legends of St Patrick
St Patrick was born in 387 A.D. St Patrick’s real name is Maewyn Succat. Maewyn’s parents are part of the Roman family. St Patrick was kidnapped at the age of sixteen and was taken to Ireland by the pagan Irish Raiders.
The name St Patrick was given to him later in life by Pope Celestine. Also the shamrock was actually called the summer plant. He also spread the word of God when he was twenty eight years old.
There is another legend about how Maewyn drove the snake out of Ireland. He stood on the hill and he tried to poke the snake’s with his stick. Then he caught them and he drove them away.
There are many legends linked to St Patrick. There is one
legend when St Patrick drives the snake’s out of the Ireland and trapped them in a small box that he could throw into the sea so there could be no more snakes in Ireland that means they vanished under the reef.
Another legend is when mericle and magical fought and when St Patrick had to fight the Druids. After he fought them he had a vision of him being baptized to become a bishop.
St Patrick’s colour use to be blue but when Maewyn Succat came back they changed the colour back to it’s well known green. Then Maewyn travelled about two hundred miles to a ship.
St Patrick died in 17 march 670 A.D.

The topic that our teacher chose was very fun and exciting. St. Patrick is a very good man because he spread the word of God for 28 years. What would it feel like if you spread the word of God for 28 years ?

Your story about St Patrick's Day was a bit similiar to mine. I also wrote a story about St Patrick's day too. Have you celebrated St Patrick's Day?

You have written a little simple story but it is very sharp. I like the part where St. Patricks day was Blue but then it went back to it's well known colour green. How long did it take you to write?
God is fake. Fail. F for effort.
