Croagh Patrick

Mountain rising to 765 m/2,510 ft in County Mayo, Republic of Ireland, a national place of pilgrimage. An annual pilgrimage on the last Sunday of July commemorates St Patrick, who fasted there for the 40 days of Lent in 441. Crowds of people, some barefooted, climb the holy mountain to attend the series of masses celebrated in the oratory at the summit.
