A Year of Late Cornish Day 75


An Pemdhegves Dedh ha Trei ügens

De Sadorn, seytegves mis Meurth. An seytegves dedh a vis Meurth ew Degol Padryk. Padryk ew sans tasek Wordhen saw nag o va Godhal. Ev a veu genys en Breten Veur, en soth a Scotlond martesen, en cres an pempes cansvledhen.
Saturday, 17th March. The 17th day of March is St Patrick’s Day. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland but he was not Irish. He was born in Great Britain, perhaps in the south of Scotland, in the middle of the 5th century.

Pan o va adro dhe whetek bloodh ev a veu sesys gen morladron ha dres dhe Wordhen, le mayth o va keth dres whegh bledhen hag ev ow pugelya deves.  Ev a scappyas betegens hag a dhewhelys dh’y deylu en Breten Veur.
When he was about 16 years old he was captured by pirates and taken to Ireland, so that he was a slave for 6 years herding sheep. However he escaped and returned to his family in Great Britain.

Òja boas gwres prownter war an brastir, Padryk eth dhe Wordhen ha dallath y whel rag lesa an grejyans Cristyon e’n pow.  Ev a a fundyas y eglos vroas en “Ard Macha”.
After becoming a priest on the mainland, Patrick went to Ireland and began his work spreading the Christian faith in the country. He founded his main church in Armagh.

Solabres thera en soth a Wordhen cadnas Cristyon aral henwys Palladius. Tho ev an kensa Epscop a Wordhen. E’n cansvledhednyow warlergh Padryk y sewysy en Armagh a wre ascribya dhe Padryk ober Palladius y honen hag etho an dhew sans ew kemyskys e’n textow coth.
In the south of Ireland there was already another  Christian missionary called Palladius. He was the first Bishop of Ireland. In the centuries after Patrick his followers in Armagh were ascribing Palladius’s own work to Patrick and so the two saints are mixed up in the old texts.

Rag redya moy gwrew mires orth
