list. Patrick is credited in
LEGENDS collated by the islands
official historian with driving in
sects out of Porto Rico.
When, in the sixteenth century,
the islands suffered severely both
from lack of rain and a plague of
insects, st. Patrick, or San
Patricio, was little known here,
but the Catholic bishop, Alonzo
Manso, was moved to seek the
intercession of some powerful
saint for the islands relief. !,
The names of many saints were
written on slips and a child,
blindfolded, was chosen to draw
the name of the saint to whom
the island should address its APP
peal. Three successive times the
name of st. Patrick was drawn.
That seemed conclusive; prayers
were said to the saint of ireland
and shortly rains came and the
insects went.
