Louis Antoine SaintJust (1767 – 1794) is one of the most significant figures in the history of the Great French Revolution and especially of the period of jacobine dictatorship.
SaintJust was a close friend and adherent to Maximilien Robespiere that is why he expressed in his speeches and treatises the ideas that were close to the views of the main jacobine ideologue and his works together with the work of the Incorruptible, reflect the development of the Robespierrist thought.
SaintJust proposed the liberal members of the Convention to look at the real situation of the country, saying that French “trade reserves diminished while the liberty increased, because we were too much interested in the principles of liberty and too little in the principles of government” (6; 18).
Saint Patrick arrived at the hill of Slane (pronounced Slay-ne), at the opposite extremity of the valley from Tara, on Easter Eve, and on the summit of the hill kindled the Paschal fire.
When Saint Patrick, at the close of the ceremony, saw the blood flow, and asked him why he had been silent, he replied, with genuine heroism, that he thought it might be part of the ceremony, a penalty for the joyous blessings of the Faith that were imparted.
The saint admired his heroism, and, taking the chieftain's shield, inscribed on it a cross with the same point of the crozier, and promised that that shield would be the signal of countless spiritual and temporal triumphs.
