Mainistir Shl?ine
Slane AbbeyIt is believed that in 433 AD, the first Christian missionary to Ireland, later known as St. Patrick, lit a large celebration fire here on the Hill of Slane.
Soon after St Patrick, a monastery associated with St Earc was built on the site. But we know little of its history until the church was rebuilt in its present form in 1512, when Sir Christopher Fleming founded a Franciscan friary. The church was built to a simple plan but it has a fine bell tower; the aisle to the south was added later. Nearby are the remains of a college which was founded to serve the church and housed four priests, four lay-brothers and four choristers. It was built around an open quadrangle with the priests' residence to the north. The windows, fireplaces and a double garderobe (toilet) survive.
Mainistir Shl?ineDeirtear gur adaigh an ch?ad misin?ir ar son na Cr?osta?ochta in ?irinn - an t? go dtugaim?dne ?Naomh P?draig' air - tine mh?r ar Chnoc seo na Sl?ine aimsir na Cca sa bhliain AD 433.
Go luath ina dhiaidh sin bunaiodh mainistir san ?it seo le Naomh Earc Sl?ine, duine de dheisciobail Ph?draig Naofa, ach n? heol d?inn m?r?n mar gheall uirthi go dt? gur athbhuna?odh ? sa bhliain 1512, sa riocht ina bhfuil s? inniu. Bhunaigh Sir Criost?ir Pl?imionn mainistir Phroinsiasc?nach anseo sa bhliain sin. Plean simpl? a bh? laistiar den eaglais, ach t? cloigtheach bre? ag gabh?il l?i. Cuireadh leis an bhfoirgneamh ar ball, mar a bhfuil an taobhroinn anois i dtaobh theas na mainistreach.
Taobh leis an mainister t? fothrach an chol?iste a buna?odh chun freastal uirthi. Bh?odh ceanthrar sagart, ceathrar br?thair cr?ostaithe agus ceathrar cant?ir? ina gc?na? ann. T?gadh an col?iste thart timpeall ar chearn?g oscailte; bh? teach na sagart ar an dtaobh ? dheas. T? na fuinneoga, na hiarta?, agus an
garderobe d?balta (leithreas) f le feice?il ann.
