What is recorded here
St Patrick's Statue in County Down carries Latin praise for unshakable faith and the church built upon Patrick like Peter. The stones still repeat that Patrick was tested in Catholic belief and Leo served as Rome's forty-third bishop. People may have touched the base or whispered prayers there, trusting the warning that fear and fidelity must hold steady before God.
CONTANS IN DEI TIMORE ET FIDE IMMOBILIS SVPER QVEM EDIFICATUR UT PETRVS ECCLESIA. LEO ORDINATUS EST XLIII ROMANE ECLESIE EPISCOPVS ET PROBATVS EST IN FIDE CATOLICA PATRICIVS EPISCOPVS.
