This research intends to analyze representations concerning christianization of celtic Ireland by Saint Patrick. We have as sources two Latin documents wrote in the 5th century Ireland (Confesio and Epistola ad milites Corotici). Different publications that deal with this subject often describe Patrick as cristianizer of Ireland or responsible for organizing a preexisting Christianity. We present another approach considering only the two letters written by Patrick trying to observe how it represented the Irishmen, himself and the christianization of Ireland. The plot we ve constructed understands the representation concept as a polissemic form, that if thought in middle voice, whithout concentrating on the polarization between a realistic or textualistic form of to lead the narrative, may mean a different form of working with the Patrician workmanships, introducing, thus, in its narrative nucleus, an aprroach that is different from the proposals of realistic character suggested by the Irish historiography. There is Patrick, there is Ireland and there are representations.
