St. Patrick’s Breastplate: A Hymn of Faith and Protection
St. Patrick’s Breastplate is a powerful hymn traditionally attributed to St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is said to have been composed by the saint himself in the 5th century as a prayer for divine protection. The hymn is also known as The Lorica of St. Patrick (Lorica meaning “breastplate” in Latin) and reflects a deep connection to Celtic spirituality and Christian faith.
