St. Patrick's Cathedral























We got a chance to tour St. Patrick's Cathedral on a sunny day. The pictures don't do justice to the inside view--just envision amazing. The organ was playing and filled the place with music--we'll try to get back for a service. Jonathon Swift was a dean at the cathedral and his grave is in the church along with a great deal of displays on his writings and biographical background. This is the largest Church in Dublin and traces its roots back to medieval times. The Guinness family donated money in the 1800's to update, thus several of the "modern" portions of the church changed and expanded the church. So far, every time I try to get to Christchurch, it is closed. It's still on the list before we go.
