This is still an active cathedral with Eucharist services (masses) three times a week. it's a great way to see the Dublin city centre! On the aptly named Patrick's Street, the cathedral was founded in 1191 and is the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland. Because it's off of Dame St, it's often much quieter than Christ Church- if you try to avoid crowds, it's the perfect place to get a taste of Dublin and Irish history. As much as the church was beautiful on the exterior interior is much grander and more extravagant. The interior was magnificent and definitely held true to the gothic style, There was a lot of marble, dark wood and gold the location of the cathedral is important in two ways. First, the cathedral was built on the same site of a church that was constructed by the King of Scotland. Secondly, the location was chosen because Saint Patrick himself had a well where he baptized early Catholics. If you visit the cathedral today, they have stone slabs on display which were believed to be the entrance to the well. Also, it happens to be the tallest church in Ireland, which is pretty impressive given that the country is full of them.

And, the icing on the cake - or big chocolate egg in the easter basket, if you will - is the choir... The choir surprised many in attendance with a performance of Handel's Messiah, which I understand is a treat here at Christmas and on Easter Sunday. The choir in itself is worth attending a mass at any time. But, if you can take this in during the holidays, you'll walk out nearly moved to tears. The church is in an ideal location with one side entrance off a tiny unexpected laneway. And, there's plenty of seating for those who would like to just take a step off the beaten path of Grafton Street and take in the church surroundings instead.
