Christ Church Cathedral was founded in 1030 by vikings and it stands as the city's oldest working structure. Its choir even performed at the 1742 world premiere of Handel's Messiah on nearby Fishamble Street!

This is what I call a "healthy rejection". It's from the highly regarded Fishamble Theatre Company.
They merely suggest looking at two points which I have now addressed.
Take heart; rejections can oft times be very "healthy" and not something to get down about!

The chant for #Candlemas (a little belated) in our fabulous 15th century processional, with 500 year old splodges of beeswax! It belonged to the long-vanished church of St John the Evangelist on Fishamble Street in Dublin & may have been used in Christ Church Cathedral next door

#OTD in 1742, George Frideric Handel’s Messiah premiered at Neal's Musick Hall on Fishamble Street, Dublin. Conducted by Handel to packed crowds, the premiere raised significant funds for local charities, including prisoner debt relief and hospitals. The performance was an immediate triumph.

Of course not only humans like to play with toys!
Like this wonderful wooden figure of a wolf playing with a ball found in Viking-Age levels during excavations at Fishamble Street, Dublin.
