Gateways to Better Education (GTBE) has provided information and resources to help teachers educate their students about the much beloved Saint Patrick. Did you know that he was the first person in history to write against slavery? His Christian faith and personal experience led him to condemn the practice according to historian Thomas Cahill, author of the book, How the Irish Saved Civilization.. After being kidnapped from Britain at the age of 16, he served as a Celtic slave for six years until he escaped and returned home.
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure 'tis like a morn in spring.
