Day 3 - June 3rd

On Monday we visited the Anglican Down Cathedral, which houses St. Patrick’s grave in a cemetery next to the church. Two other saints are also buried with St. Patrick: St. Brigid and St. Colmcille. After visiting St. Patrick’s grave, we visited St. Patrick’s Church and met with Father John Murray, who showed us around the church and retold the life of St. Patrick using a mosaic in the church.

Later in the day, we went to St. Colmcille’s High School in Crossgar for an Irish dance lesson. We learned a typical showcase 16-bar step from former Riverdance and Lord of the Dance members. Myself and four other ambassadors who had danced before also did a step down the line.
