"Wurra-Wurra: A Legend of Saint Patrick at Tara" by Curtis Dunham is a historical legend written in the early 20th century. This narrative combines elements of folklore and religious tradition, focusing on the life and mission of Saint Patrick as he attempts to convert Ireland from paganism to Christianity. The book intertwines the historical context of early Irish spirituality, particularly through the lens of the conflict between Saint Patrick and the old pagan deities, with an engaging storytelling style. The story revolves around Keth Mac Maragh, a strong man and devoted follower of Saint Patrick, who is driven by love for Finola of the White Shoulder and a desire to confront the idol Wurra-Wurra. As Keth journeys to cast down this pagan deity, he encounters various trials, including treachery from the wizard Lochru and the influence of demonic forces. Throughout his quest, Keth's faith and courage are tested, culminating in a profound realization about the nature of worries and burdens represented by Wurra-Wurra. Ultimately, the tale weaves a lesson about faith, sacrifice, and the power of compassion, as Keth learns not only to confront the idol but also to care for those in distress, symbolizing broader themes of redemption and divine intervention in the face of adversity.
