I find the history of St Patrick interesting. (I don't think it really had a lot to do with driving out the snakes, but maybe changing a lot of hearts in Ireland. He was kidnapped for his first trip to Ireland and served as a shepherd---a lot more at the links below.)

Here's a couple links to some History of St Patrick (seems to be some discrepancies in different accounts but seems very interesting to me): http://www.saint-patrick.com/history.htm
