I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't get it right away. <br /><br />But if you look at that link, 95% of those saints are probably from before the year 1200 when Pope Adrian IV (the only/last English Pope) gave Ireland to the English King.

Plus, having so much Irish ancestry may have biased me to this question :) I would agree that Italy and France are more logical answers, but who can argue with the Irish!swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091563100968996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-38881879147166610902009-06-14T18:40:45.702-06:002009-06-14T18:40:45.702-06:00Oh, my goodness, not: What is Ireland?

They probably didn't convert till the 900s or so.<br /><br />So it must be: "What is Spain?" St. James the Greater made northwest Spain one of his early stops. And they probably had a bunch of martyrs under their Moorish rule.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332138030182107580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-91957116210222514722009-06-14T06:46:53.086-06:002009-06-14T06:46:53.086-06:00No, Ray, not the Czech Republic either.
