Patrick: The Saint and the Sorcerer
Given the week that’s in it, we’ll be looking at a character who bridges the gap between history and myth, In whose name, this comingTuesday, many glasses will be raised and even more shamrocks will be drowned. We’re talking of course about the Patron Saint of Ireland, the man credited with converting Ireland from native polytheism to Christianity, St. Patrick. Did Patrick really convert Pagan Ireland to Christianity? Did Patrick do it by using a shamrock? And what exactly was the story with the snakes? Written, produced and presented by Marcas Ó hUiscín and Stephanie Ní Thiarnaigh. Thomas Dineley voiced by Christopher Bowes.
