Setting
A small, rustic church in Saul, County Down, Ireland, surrounded by early spring greenery. The interior is simple, with wooden beams supporting a thatched roof and a dirt floor covered with scattered rushes. The walls are made of rough-hewn stone, and a small altar stands at one end.

TNGF
SELECTED
Saint Patrick
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, weathered face framed by a long white beard. His sunken eyes still hold a piercing clarity, though his body is frail from age and illness. His hands, resting on his chest, are calloused from years of missionary work and holding a crozier.
Brother Finnian
primary
A senior monk in his late 50s, with a gaunt frame and deep-set eyes that speak of years of devotion and fasting. His hands are rough from manual labor, yet gentle in their ministrations. A prominent tonsure marks his shaved crown, with the remaining grey hair forming a wispy halo around his head.
Sister Brigid
secondary
A middle-aged nun with a gentle, careworn face, her hazel eyes reflecting both compassion and quiet sorrow. Her hands are calloused from years of healing work, yet move with practiced tenderness. She wears a simple woolen habit, its earthy brown tones faded from frequent washing.
Monk Aed
secondary
A young monk in his early twenties, slight of build with fair skin and reddish-brown hair cropped short in the monastic tonsure. His face is smooth, untouched by a razor, and his blue eyes are red-rimmed from weeping. His hands, clasped around a beeswax candle, are calloused from manual labor but tremble slightly with emotion.
Local Chieftain
secondary
A middle-aged nobleman with a strong, weathered face, broad shoulders, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His hands, clasped in prayer, bear the callouses of both sword and plow. His dark eyes are deeply set under heavy brows, and his posture, though kneeling, retains the dignity of his station.
Dialog
Saint Patrick
My children... as the salmon returns to the stream of its birth, so my soul now turns to Christ who formed me.
Brother Finnian
A thiarna, let us recite the Nunc Dimittis as you taught us - in Latin for the Church, in Irish for the people.
Local Chieftain
The druids said no foreign god would take root here... yet your faith grows like oak from acorn across Éire.
Saint Patrick
Not my faith, but Christ's... as the shamrock shows three in one, so we are many yet one flock.
Brother Finnian
The bell you rang at Slane still echoes in a thousand churches. Who will tend the flock when the shepherd is called home?
Saint Patrick
The Good Shepherd tends His own... Finnian... Brigid... you must be stones for the living water to flow over.
Local Chieftain
By the King of Mysteries, I swear your teachings will stand like the Lia Fáil - unshaken by wind or time.
