Question 2

Question
The time Patrick spent in Ireland as a slave helped him with his later missionary work. What evidence from the passage best supports this conclusion?
Answer
  • “While Palladius worked mainly in the south of Ireland, Patrick's work took him back to the North, near where he had served his time as a slave.”
  • “Rather than tell the Irish that their old ways were wrong, Patrick incorporated parts of their religion into Christianity.”
  • “Although Patrick is usually credited with introducing Ireland to Christianity, the Church already had some presence on the island.”
  • “Because of his fluency in the language, he was able to reach members of the Celtic community who could not understand other missionaries.”

Question
Read the following sentences: “Rather than tell the Irish that their old ways were wrong, Patrick incorporated parts of their religion into Christianity. Legand has it that, because the Irish celebrated their gods with fire, Patrick added bonfires to the Easter ritual. Because the Irish venerated the sun, Patrick added a sun to the cross—creating what is now known as a ‘Celtic cross.’” Based on this information, what can you conclude about Patrick’s missionary work?
Answer
  • The changes that Patrick made to Christian practices to make the religion more familiar to the Irish have not been maintained in current practice.
