The Irish were Celtic people and their conversion is traced to Patrick of England, early in the fifth century. Their culture was agriculturally based. The Irish, or Celts, were then called Scots.

Raised an English Christian, Patrick was captured by Scots, Celts from Ireland, and was carried to Ireland to be a swineherd. He escaped and found himself in France where he went to a monastery on an island of the Mediterranean Sea, but he finally went home to England again to see his family. One night he had a dream in which the babies of Ireland pled with him to come back to their country and tell them about Christ. He returned to France and studied for a number of years in a monastery and was eventually sent out as a missionary to the people among whom he had once been a slave.
