Can it get any more illustrative than this? A mural hidden away in the lofty heights of Armagh's Catholic cathedral depicts Patrick at his saintly best. Kings and warriors are kneeling down to receive baptism, harpers seem to sing their praise, monks (with a definitely un-Irish haircut) venerate Patrick and even druids have been laid low.
