St. Patrick's Day

For Sunday Postcard Art's St. Patrick's Day challenge

The underlying text is the version copied into a 10th century Lives of the Saints now held by the national library of France of Patrick's 5th century letter to his church superiors in his native Britain.  It both presents his background and his defense against those who have objected to his demands that Britons stop their violent raids on his Irish converts.  The white text at bottom is the opening lines in modern English.

Thanks for having a look.
