The Children who became St Patrick
by Laurelei Fox
€ 12.50
ISBN: 9798276209791
The Children Who Became St. Patrick tells the forgotten story behind one of history's most beloved saints.
Long before he became Patricius, Bishop of Ireland, he was Maewyn Succat-a boy stolen from his home on the western coast of Britain, torn from his family, and sold into slavery across the sea. Through the intertwined voices of Maewyn and his sister Darerca-whose story has been nearly erased by time-this novel brings to life the people and experiences that shaped the man the world would one day call St. Patrick.
In the rugged hills and windswept fields of early Ireland, Maewyn is thrust into a harsh new world. He learns the language, the customs, and the rhythms of the land that will, unknowingly, become his destiny. As he struggles to keep the remnants of his family together, he confronts a culture ruled by tribal bonds, druidic influence, and Brehon law-laws that will one day guide his ministry rather than oppose it.
Darerca's journey runs beside his, her path woven through shadows, resilience, and faith. Her life, long obscured by legend, reveals a powerful truth: St. Patrick did not walk his path alone.
Who was St. Patrick before the legends? How did a frightened boy become the patron saint of Ireland?
This is their story-the story of the children who became St. Patrick.
