Greetings from the Ecclesiastical Capital of Ireland, where we welcome you to this Cathedral Church of St. Patrick which stands on one of the most ancient Christian sites in the British Isles. St. Patrick built a stone church on the hill known as Druim Saileach (Sallow Ridge ) in 445, so beginning the story of Armagh Cathedral. He ordained that Armagh should have the pre-eminence over all the churches of Ireland, a position which it holds to this day.
