The
Irish Empire
The five-part series Irish Empire, first broadcast on BBC Ireland
in 1999, offers a compelling, contemporary historical perspective
on the events, people, and influences that shaped the identity of
Irish culture as it expanded throughout the world. Wide-ranging in
scope, the series chronicles the expansion of Irish culture as a bona
fide diaspora, grander in scale than that of almost any other ethnic
group.

Pilgrimages
of Europe: Croagh Patrick
In the 4th century A.D. the monk Patrick travelled to pagan Ireland
to convert the Irish to Christianity. Patrick won the population
over by integrating venerated pagan symbols, like the sun, into
the Christian faith. Croagh Patrick, a mountain on Ireland’s
wild western coast, is such a symbol. Every Irishman climbs Croagh
Patrick at least once in his life, as his ancestors did even before
the dawn of the Christian era.
