Description
The introduction of Christianity to Ireland with the arrival of St. Patrick heralded the end of the ancient rule of Celtic Kings forever. This picture shows the Hill of Slane where St Patrick lit his Paschal Fire before the Kings could light theirs on the Hill of Uisneach. This single event robbed the power of the Kings and heralded the age of Christianity into Ireland.
