The Deer's Cry Prayer (St Patrick's Breastplate) | Liz Gunn Reads

The "Deer's Cry" is also known by the name "St. Patrick's Breastplate" and is an example of a lorica -- a "breastplate" or corslet of faith recited for the protection of body and soul against all forms of evil... The name of the hymn derives from a legend...when Loeguire, the High King of Tara, resolved to ambush and kill St. Patrick and his monks to prevent them from spreading the Christian faith in his kingdom. As Patrick and his followers approached singing this hymn, the King and his men saw only a herd of wild deer and let them pass by. The word 'cry' also has the sense of a prayer or petition.
