Patrick had a vision in which he heard the voice of the Irish from 'beside the Wood of Voclut which is near the Western Sea' calling him to come and walk among them.

Ag Criost an siol; For all the saints; Holy God, we praise thy name;
The King of love my shepherd is: St Patrick's breastplate; Praise to the holiest; Be thou my vision. Researcher JUDITH PEERS Producer JAMES SKELLY Editor STEPHEN WHITTLE BBC Northern Ireland
