St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Check out this drone video of an important Catholic church in Northern Ireland, compliments of AirVuz contributor AirScape. It's called St. Patricks's Cathedral, and it's located in Armagh, the seat of its namesake county. It's not to be confused with another church of the same name in Armagh which is part of the (Anglican) Church of Ireland, and which was the "original" St. Patrick's Cathedral prior to it being appropriated by the state during the Reformation. The "new" St. Patrick's Cathedral was built in stages between 1840-1904.

St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh. Shot on the DJI Mavic Air 2 Drone at 4K. St Patrick founded his first stone Church in Ireland on the site now occupied by St Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral, known as Sally Hill, in the year 445. But the hill where the twin-spired Catholic Cathedral now stands is not without Patrician associations. The Book of Armagh, relates a beautiful tradition which is also depicted in the lower portion of the Cathedral’s great east window. When St Patrick took possession of Sally Hill a deer with her fawn allegedly leaped from the bushes. His companions wanted to catch and kill the fawn but the Saint would not allow them. He himself took the animal on his shoulders and carried it, followed by its mother, to Tealach na Licci (Sandy Hill), the site of the present Catholic Cathedral. The incident has been fondly construed as a prophetic reference by Patrick to the building of another Cathedral in his honor 1400 years later.
