Post-mortem pals with St. Brigid
The probable place of St. Patrick’s burial is Down Cathedral; St. Brigid is also
said to lie next to the Irish saint, having been associated with him numerous
times. Patrick is said to have been the one to baptize Brigid’s mother, a fellow
slave. There were fierce fights when the decision on where Patrick’s corpse
would be buried had to be taken, but fortunately, a flood impeded the Irish
from spilling too much blood.
