St. Patrick is one of the best known people in Ireland.
There's a lot of churches and cathedrals dedicated to him. Also in Dublin and
that's the one we wanted to visit - St. Patrick's Cathedral.
I came with my friend Tomaz. We waited for one more friend
from Extreme Ireland, Dewald. When we entered the Cathedral we were nicely
accepted by our guide Shaun. He's very friendly and very educated and informed
about the Cathedral. Of course he told us about the history of cathedral first
and then he took us around. He explained the history of each interesting
artefact and it's history behind. We could see that he really enjoys in his
work. He was explaining with such an enthusiasm that was fun to listening him.
One of the funniest stories was about Jonathan Swift who was a dean in this
cathedral. He wrote a book "A sermon upon sleeping in Church" and you
can imagine to whom was it dedicated to.
He also showed us his grave and after that were accepted by
the person who took us to the cathedral tower. We felt really important because
lots of people don't have a chance to go there. We were walking in narrow
corridors where Jonathan Swift used to walk. We saw all the places under the
roof and finally also the tower, from where you have a great view to all the
city.
I would like to thank Shaun for a great guiding. St.
Patrick's Cathedral is one you have to visit.
