- Have you ever felt that you were on Holy ground or without a doubt were in the presence of God Almighty? There are few places on earth that will make you feel more like that than Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, in Dublin, Ireland. They say that this is the very spot where around the year 450 AD, over 1,500 years ago, Saint Patrick himself baptized Irish converts. This 800-year-old cathedral had been declared the National Cathedral of Ireland.
In this video we will tell you the story of this important ancient holy place and give you a tour, both inside in out. The beauty that you will see here is almost indescribable making one of Ireland’s most visited places. The story here begins with Saint Patrick himself, the beloved Patron Saint of Ireland. Tradition has always stated that at a spring just outside the modern cathedral was where Patrick held his many baptisms. The first time a church was mentioned on the site was in the year 1178 and at that time it was on a spot of land surrounded by the River Poddle. Soon the Anglo-Normans arrived and with them there were many advancements. On Saint Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1191, the Archbishop of Dublin, John Comyn raised the status of St. Patrick’s from a parish church to a collegiate church. Between 1212 and 1223 the church was raised to the status of a cathedral. Then the current building that we see today was built between the years 1220 and 1260. The cathedral has been added to, remodeled and changed several times in its 800-year history.
The sacred site was saved by a generous benefactor, Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness, the heir of the Guinness beer brewing empire. The church is currently is part of The Church of Ireland, which is Anglican and protestant. The first university in Ireland was founded here in the year 1311, and Ireland’s first school was founded here in 1432, for the education of the choirboys. Ireland’s oldest secondary school was founded in 1547, as the Saint Patrick’s Cathedral Grammar School. Also, in 1701, the first public library was founded by Archbishop Narcissus Marsh and is called, Marsh’s Library. Over the centuries, one of the challenges of St. Patrick’s Cathedral was its close proximity to Christ Church Cathedral which is only about one-third of a mile away.
Saint Patrick’s Cathedral has been declared the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland, Christ Church Cathedral had been declared the Diocesan Cathedral for Dublin and Glendalough. The largest monument in the cathedral is the Boyle Monument which was built in 1632, by the first Earl of Cork Richard Boyle, in honor of his wife Katherine. The small child is said to be Richard and Katherine’s son Robert, who developed the scientific breakthrough called “Boyle’s Law” and is often referred to as the father of modern chemistry. “The Door of Reconciliation” and has an exciting story. In 1492, the Butlers of Ormonde and the Fitzgerald’s of Kildare were in a fierce feud which turned into a battle. The leader of the Fitzgerald’s, Gerald Fitzgerald wanted to prove that it wasn’t a trick and cut a hole in the door. He then stuck his arm in the hole and gave the Butler’s two options, they could cut off his arm, or shake his hand in peace. The Butler’s shook his hand and the conflict was ended. This story is where the Irish phrase “to chance your arm”, comes from, which simply means, to take a chance or a risk.
Above the choir stalls are the flags of The Knights of Saint Patrick and the helmets and swords worn during ceremonies. The Knights of Saint Patrick are an honorary British chivalry organization that was founded in 1783, by King George III. To put that date into perspective, this is the same year that the Revolutionary War ended in the United States. One of the largest ceremonies in the Cathedral happen in 1869, when Edward, the Prince of Wales was inducted into the order.
Next up is the east transept, or the very front of the cathedral. Here we have “The Lady Chapel” which was the first addition to the cathedral in 1270. At that time, it was called the “French Chapel” because it was used by French Huguenot refugees. The cathedral has several tombs of archbishops, including the most famous, Jonathan Swift, who penned many works, such as the classic book, “Gulliver’s Travels”.
On the north side of the cathedral is Saint Patrick’s Park where the stone was found near the entrance during the construction of the park. One section in the front is dedicated to the lost lives of children in the 1916 Easter Rising event. The inscription is in Irish and translates to, “A Play Garden in Memory of the Children Lost in 1916”. In the rear of the park, is the Literary Parade that was built in 1988, the 1,000th anniversary of the City of Dublin.

I was here💕☘️☘️☘️
Absolutely amazing place!!
Thank you for this. Very interesting
You are very welcome, we are proud to do it!
It’s a really small cathedral by British and European standards. It’s dark and dismal. But I’ve deep affection for it.
The biggest mistake that the Irish, I mean the Catholic Irish lead by Patrick, made was teaching the English how to read and write. So, Saint Patrick and his priests and nuns saved western civilization by establishing parishes from England and throughout Europe, and then into as far as Russia, Iraq, and the Levant. The Irish brought the world out of the dark ages; these parishes later became the great universities we know today.

WOULD YOU LEGENDS IN PORTUGUESE ? PLEASE
I’m sorry, I’m not understanding you.
Bro, can I ask why you haven't been to Limerick city?
Like King John's castle is in Limerick city, and so is Ireland's oldest and most important cathedral in the whole of Ireland. Saint Mary's cathedral in Limerick city, is much more stunning than Dublin's cathedral and it's a (grade 1 listed building) where as saint Patrick's cathedral hasn't any grades, not even a grade A. And a grade 1 listed building is the highest grade that can be given to any building.
Wow! Did someone in Ireland tell you to not visit Limerick? Cos it's weird to see you standing there in this video of yours bragging about saint Patrick's cathedral when you haven't even been to the most important cathedral in the whole of Ireland, 'Saint Mary's Cathedral' in Limerick city, and the world famous King John's Castle, famed for the bad king in all the Robin Hood movies and stores throughout history, even Prince Milo Petrovic-Njegos of Montenegro is buried on the grounds on the GRADE 1 cathedral, you probably don't know what a grade 1 building means, well, it means the cathedral is just as important as Tower Bridge in London or even Westminster palace, so please bro make this make sense man. cos you've lost me here? I'm so confused right now, and I bet if this video was about Saint Mary's Cathedral in Limerick than you'd have more views and likes, sir. Like why don't you just look up the saint Mary's Cathedral in Limerick and read it's history for yourself.
I’m sorry that we only passed through Limerick on that trip. Limerick has tremendous history and could make videos for a long time there. Hopefully on the next trip.
Well, I'll hold ya to that promise, mate, and I bet if you do, do some vlogs about Limerick's history you'll get far more views than you've got for your Dublin's history vlog, mark my words, bro. Plus, you'll also discover how Manhattan's grid block plan in New York was copied from Limerick city's grid block city plan, a plan that was designed by Irish engineer Christopher Colles back in 1769 he later relocated to New York and built Manhattan's grid block plan in 1807, as you can see Limerick's grid block plan was designed in 1769, now I'm sure your fellow Americans and Irish subs would have loved to have discovered this piece of info about Limerick and New York.
You can look this info up on either Google and even on youtube, just type in ( FIVE Amazingways Limerick Changed The World ) Cheers, buddy. @@familytreenutshistorygenealogy
