St. Patrick’s Breastplate

Slemish, the mountain in Ireland where St. Patrick is said to have tended sheep while he was enslaved, depicted with the Irish words from St. Patrick’s prayer, “Críost liom, Críost romham, Críost i mo dhiaidh, Críost istigh ionam,” which is translated as “Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me.”
