Hy Brasil
Brasil, also known as Hy-Brasil and several other variants, is a phantom island said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland. Irish myths described it as cloaked in mist except for one day every seven years, when it becomes visible but still cannot be reached. Etymology The etymology of the names ''Brasil'' and ''Hy-Brasil'' is unknown, but in Irish tradition it is thought to come from the Irish (meaning "descendants (i.e., clan) of Bresail"), one of the ancient clans of northeastern Ireland. cf. Old Irish: : island; : beauty, worth, great, mighty. Despite the similarity, the name of the country Brazil (Portuguese: ) has no connection to the mythical islands (although J. R. R. Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories" linked them). The South American country was at first named Ilha de Vera Cruz (''Island of the True Cross'') and later Terra de Santa Cruz (''Land of the Holy Cross'') by the Portuguese navigators who arrived there. After some decades, it started to be call ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

John Joseph Therry
John Therry (1790 - 25 May 1864) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest in Sydney, Australia. Early life John Therry was born in Cork and was privately educated at St Patrick's College in Carlow. In 1815 he was ordained as a priest. He did parish work in Dublin and later on was secretary to the Bishop of Cork. He had heard that Catholic convicts in Australia were without a priest to minister to them, and let it be known that he would be willing to go there as a missionary. On 5 December 1819 he sailed on the ''Janus'' with another priest, the Rev. P. Conolly, as a companion. They arrived at Sydney on 3 May 1820. Unlike Father O'Flynn, who had previously arrived without government sanction and had been deported, the two priests were accredited chaplains with a salary from the government of £1000 a year each. The two men were of different temperaments and found it difficult to agree, and in 1821 Conolly went to Tasmania and remained there until his death in 1839. St Mary's Cathedral ...
