Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Over 800 years old, Ireland’s largest church and the island’s National Cathedral was founded beside a sacred well where Saint Patrick is said to have baptized pagans and converted them to Christianity around 450AD. A small wooden church was built to commemorate this visit and a cathedral building erected between 1200 and 1270. Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver’s Travels, was Dean from 1713–1745 and is buried near the entrance. One of the Cathedral’s most significant events was in 1742 when a combined choir with neighboring Christ Church Cathedral gave the first public performance of Handel’s Messiah. This strong singing tradition continues today with two sung services daily during school term – the only Cathedral to do so in Britain and Ireland. |
