St. Patrick:
Before the arrival of St. Patrick, the 21st
June was a big pagan festival and it
was celebrated in style in our county because the
second shrine of significance in
all of Ireland was at Magh
Sleacht which means "the plain of
prostrations" and
was in the parish of Templeport.
At this time our pagan forefathers assumed the
Gods to be revealed in the sun, moon and stars,
and the anger of these Gods
occasionally manifested in thunder and lighting and this
God, the God of thunder
was Crom cruach and celebrations began on the summer solstice June
21st coming
to a high point in the first days of August (Lughnasa). Unfortunately for some,
human sacrifices were offered to Crom,
adults and children. When St. Patrick
had broken the power of the "Druids" at
Tara the principal pagan shrine he
destroyed the shrine of Crom
putting an end to the barbaric practice of human
sacrifice.
