St Kevin's Church, Wicklow Gap, Co Wicklow
St Kevin’s life is not well documented, as no contemporaneous material exists. His Latin vita maintains that he was descended from a royal line and was related to the Dál Messin Corb. He was given the name Cóemgen, which means “gentle one”, was baptised by Cronan, and educated by St Petroc during that saint’s sojourn in Ireland. He lived in solitude at Disert-Cóemgen for seven years, sleeping on…

St Petroc’s Day/ Trinity Sunday

Today is St Petroc’s Day and, in 2023, is also Trinity Sunday.
The sixth century Petroc led an uneventful, if holy, life, founding the monasteries at Padstow and Little Petherick in Cornwall before he died. He achieved legendary status after death as the jailer of the evil Jan Tregeagle, an unpopular magistrate in the early 1600s. The story goes that Tregeagle had sold his soul to the Devil and was eternally damned. However he was nonetheless called as a witness for the prosecution concerning a crooked land deal that, in life, he himself had facilitated. Tregeagle admitted his misdeeds in court but then did a runner to avoid going back to Hell. St Petroc appeared and agreed with Tregeagle he could keep him out of Satan’s clutches if he agreed to carry out a number of endless labours, including emptying the bottomless Dozmary Pool and weaving ropes out of sand on Padstow Beach. Tregeagle tried to escape again, but was run to ground by the Devil’s hell hounds, and was put back to work by Petroc, but this time bound in chains and howling all the while in anguish. Whereas Tregeagle was an historical figure, his story is probably the memory of a Celtic myth of a giant who lived in Dozmary Pool.
Trinity Sunday was once a notable feast day marked by church services, fairs and eating, to celebrate the Holy Trinity - the three aspects of the Christian God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Few Trinity Fairs now remain, with the most notable taking place on the Late May Bank Holiday in Southwold in Suffolk. This may reflect the modern Church’s ambiguity towards the Trinity, adapted as it clearly was from pagan triad gods, as an aid to conversion.
