Slane Abbey

Ruins of Slane Abbey , Co Meath Ireland!

Meath Heritage site, Ireland.
St. Patrick has become synonymous with things Irish; from shamrocks to the shortage of snakes on this Isle, but there was a time when he was viewed as a foreign Christian missionary come to convert Ireland’s Celtic pagans. This he did with great symbolic flare. As the Druids celebrated their feast day on the Hill of Tara, Patrick prepared the Easter feast on the Hill of Slane. He lit his paschal fire at Slane, before the Druids could kindle their sacred fire at Tara. Seeing the flames at Slane, the Druids, warned Laegaire, the High King, that if Patrick’s fire was not put out immediately, it would burn forever in Ireland. The rest is history.( from Meath.ie site)

    Tina, you have an artist’s eye. You tend to see points of view that are unique. This communicates such a feeling of “being alone” to me. I am sure others have their take, but that is mine. wonderful work.
