Did you know that Egyptians say that they brought Christianity to Ireland?
Here& #39;s the story as it was told to me.
There was a king of Ireland in the 2nd or 3rd century, and his daughter was sick.

They searched high and low for a cure but couldn& #39;t find anything to help her. It was leprosy.
Eventually, the king& #39;s search for a cure led him to the monks of Egypt, where St Mark had brought Christianity in the year AD 42.

The Egyptian monks cured the king of Ireland& #39;s daughter, and the king brought to Ireland five monks, who brought with them Christianity and the monastic tradition.
They are buried under "the oldest mountain".
That& #39;s the story I was told.
