And both experiences, if fully entered into, should bring about the change of heart and insight of mind which is essential to a pilgrim\'s progress.Tóchar Phádraig predates Patrick. It was probably built around 350 A.D., and was the main route from Rath Cruachan, the seat of the kings of Connacht, to Cruachán Aigle, the mountain sacred to our pagan ancestors. Since Patrick\'s time, 441 A.D., it became a Christian pilgrim route and was known as Tóchar Phádraig or Patrick\'s Causeway.
