Saint Patrick Retold

Roy Flechner

Who was St. Patrick, really? We know precisely little about Ireland’s patron saint, and yet, he is celebrated on March 17 every year around the world. In an attempt to glean more information on St. Patrick’s life, Flechner looked again at contemporary sources in their historical context. In doing so, he managed to fill some gaps in our knowledge of St. Patrick.
