Lough Derg (Ulster)
Lough Derg or Loch Derg ()〔(Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 is a lake in County Donegal, Republic of Ireland. It is near the border with Northern Ireland and lies about north of the border village of Pettigo. It is best known for St Patrick's Purgatory, a site of pilgrimage on Station Island in the lake.
The lake is about in size, but is quite shallow, making it dangerous during bad weather.〔(National Regional Fisheries Board )〕 It has stocks of pike, perch and brown trout for angling.
==Annual Pilgrimage==
The traditional three day pilgrimage follows a one-thousand-year-old pattern. It begins on Friday, during which participants may only have one meal. On arrival on the island, participants remove footwear and socks before commencing vocal prayers, walking around the island. A 24-hour night vigil then takes place. Generally, pilgrims depart on Sunday and complete their fast at midnight on Monday morning〔(Official website )〕 Organisers prohibit children under fifteen years from participating in the fast.
