slave on a island. In there he learned the language.
After 6 years of being a slave he recovered his freedom and he went to France,
he turned into a priest, the people called him Patricio, and he returned to the
place where he had been a slave to predicate the evangelist.
St. Patricio used a clover to illustrate to the village the Holy Trinity, and
