Book Description
It is estimated that there are up to 3000 holy wells in Ireland. The pattern or feast day of the local patron saint has been viewed as one of the most typical aspects of Irish culture and has served to define that culture as either primitive in a negative sense or traditional in a positive sense. The pattern in honour of St Declan of Ardmore, County Waterford, has been one of the most widely patronized in Munster and provides an opportunity to look at patterns in general through one particularly illustrative example.
