An Irish Legend Oisin In the Land of Youth



Fifth class made a Photostory to tell the well known Irish legend about Oisín in the Land of Youth, an idyllic land across the sea where people remained young and beautiful forever.One day a beautiful woman crossed the sea and asked Oisín to marry her and go and live in the Land of Youth.After three hundred years Oisín felt homesick and persuaded Niamh to allow him return to Ireland on a visit. She allowed him but warned him not to get off the horse while he was in Ireland.

Oisín discovered that all his friend were gone. While travelling around the country Oisín came across some men trying to lift a large rock.He bent down to help them but unfortunately the strap of his saddle broke, Oisín fell to the ground and his horse ran away back to the Land of Youth. Immediately he turned into an old man. Oisin met Saint Patrick before he died.
