📖 Ancient Restoration The grave of St Patrick, Downpatrick. “In Down, three saints one grave do fill, Patrick, Brigid and Columcille”.

The Life of Patrick recounts of how a miracle averted a war between the O'Neill & Ulster tribes over possession of the saints body. Instead, the body was placed into an ox-drawn cart, & under God's guidance they chose Downpatrick ('Patrick's fortress') as his resting place.
