Happy Easter

A Very Happy Easter to people of goodwill everywhere. The photo above shows the site of the very first Christian church in Ireland, founded by St Patrick in 432AD, making this the oldest ecclesiastical site in Ireland. It's located at Saul, County Down, in Northern Ireland, just a few miles from where St Patrick's remains are buried at Down Church of Ireland Cathedral, Downpatrick.

Welcome to March 2021

St Patrick Month

This is the month when St Patrick’s day (17th March) is traditionally celebrated all over the world. We’ll be bringing you snapshots of some of the ancient sites from around Ireland, north and south, with which he was associated.

It’s remarkable that the 5th Century saint is more popular today than ever before. Only the COVID restrictions in 2020 and again this year, are preventing the usual massive celebrations in cities all across the world. But there will still be ways to mark the date of his death on Wednesday March 17.
