| PROTESTANT CATHEDRAL, ARMAGH.- The Protestants of Ireland perpetuate the memory of the great apostle of their country, St. Patrick, in many of their sacred edifices, but, more particularly, at Dublin and Armagh, where, it is claimed, their fine cathedrals - taken in former times by force from the vanquished Catholics - stands upon sites where once stood the original temples founded by the patron saint himself. It makes little matter, now, how the buildings were originally obtained, the Catholics of Ireland have long since acquiesced in the change and have erected edifices more magnificent, if less ancient, to take their places. |
