Evensong at St. Patrick's

I preceded the Dicksons and Glenda to St. Patrick's Cathedral so that I could take some photos. There is a spot as one enters the close where, according to a very ancient tradition, was the well where St. Patrick baptized the pagan rulers of ancient Ireland. They met me there at 5:15 pm and we stayed for the Evensong service. We searched for a place for a light supper with the Dicksons and ended up going back to the Toscana Restaurant again. This time, still full from a hearty lunch, I had only a bowl of mushroom soup. On the way back to the hotel, even though the library had closed, I took them by the Chester Beatty Library so they might know where it is. Incidentally, it is less than one hundred meters from the site of the birthplace of Jonathan Swift, who later became Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral.Read more
