Croagh Patrick Revealed

A once in a lifetime dramatic view of Ireland's Holy Mountain, Croagh Patrick, where Saint Patrick, on his return to Ireland to convert the Irish to Christianity, is said to have spent forty days in prayer and fasting.

'That conical mountain is Croagh Patrick; it is clothed in the most magnificent violet colour, and a couple of round clouds were exploding as if it were from the summit, that part of them towards the sea lighted up with the most delicate gold and rose colour' W.M. Thackeray 1842, travel writer on Clew Bay, Westport.
