Christ Church
La Catedral de la Santísima Trinidad (en inglés, Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, popularmente conocida como Christ Church, literalmente Iglesia de Cristo) es la más antigua de las dos catedrales medievales de la ciudad, siendo la otra la Catedral de San Patricio. Ha sido la sede del arzobispo de Dublín (actualmente parte de la Iglesia de Irlanda, de confesión anglicana) desde los tiempos medievales y está consagrada a la Trinidad.

La catedral fue construida en 1038 por el rey Sitric Silkenbeard, rey vikingo de Dublín, y quizás su diócesis éra dependiente del arzobispado de Canterbury.. Se situó en un terreno alto desde el que se observaba el asentamiento vikingo de Wood Quay.


Christ Church Cathedral (The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, commonly known as Christ Church, Cathedral of the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough and Metropolitical Cathedral of the United Provinces of Dublin and Cashel) in Dublin is the elder of the city's two mediæval cathedrals, the other being St. Patrick's Cathedral.
It is officially claimed as the seat (cathedra) of both the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic archbishops of Dublin. In practice it has been the cathedral of only the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin, since the Irish Reformation.

The cathedral was begun in 1038 by King Sitric Silkenbeard, the Danish Viking King of Dublin, for the first Bishop of Dublin, Donat or Donagh (the Diocese of Dublin was at that time a small island surrounded by a huge Diocese of Glendalough, and answered to Canterbury). The church was built on the high ground overlooking the Viking settlement of Wood Quay and Sitric gave the &quot;lands of Baldoyle, Raheny and Portrane for its maintenance.&quot;
