Saint Patrick’s Day

The earliest and only writings that can be ascribed to Saint Patrick are the Confessio and the Epistola (Letter to the soldiers of Coroticus). Both composed in the fifth century they have passed down to us today from Latin documents dating from the ninth century.

However, from the hagiographies of the medieval era to the biographies and historical re-examinations of the twentieth and twenty first centuries, the life of Saint Patrick has been the subject of thousands of books and Journal articles.
