Dublin

After the soy mission was done on Friday, Husband and I stayed over in Dublin until Monday.
We saw St. Patrick's Cathedral. This historic church was built on the site of a well St. Patrick is said to have used to baptize Irish believers. One of the deans of this church was the author Jonathan Swift.



Neat ancient stones dated from as early at 800 AD.  Very old, hand written sermon notes.

St Ann's Church where Bram Stoker (Dracula) was married to his wife, Florence, who was a former girlfriend of Oscar Wilde.
Christ Church Cathedral, which is about 1000 years old, is only a few blocks from St. Patrick's. The  two are so close to each other because in the past one was inside the city wall and the other was outside the city wall.
