15
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:33.680

16
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.280

17
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:46.480
himself. Which country is Saint Patrick
traditionally believed to be from. Saint Patrick

18
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.400
was born in Britain to a family
of Roman descent. At sixteen, he

19
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.920
was kidnapped from his family villa by
Irish raiders and sold into slavery around the

20
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.879
beginning of the third century. He
spent six years in the West of Ireland

21
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.879
herding sheep, and during this difficult
time he turned to his faith for comfort.

22
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.080
Saint Patrick is widely celebrated as the

And finally, for question five, the

28
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.560
traditional Irish instrument featured in Saint Patrick's
