An old monk called Barinthus visits the monastery of Ardfert-Brendan and relates to abbot Brendan and the monks how his son Mernoc, abbot on an island off the west coast of Ireland, has taken him on a trip to the ''Terra Repromissionis Sanctorum'', the Land of Promise of the Saints, just an hour of sailing west from Mernoc's island.

''The Voyage of St. Brendan'' is a medieval Irish legend. Its protagonist, St. Brendan of Clonfert, was a historical Irish abbot and missionary who possibly lived from 484 to 577 AD, but the account of his legendary voyage (in Latin, ''Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbati'') was written no earlier than c. 900 AD, presumably by an Irish monk.

Brendan decides that he, too, would like to see this miraculous land. He selects a crew of fourteen monks, and after fasting for 40 days, the monks set out to the coast to construct a ship. But at the last moment, three sinful monks who have not properly purified themselves turn up and beg Brendan to let them join. Against better knowledge, Brendan takes them along. But sinners cannot enter the Land of Promise, and the trip which was hoped to take a few days turns into a seven years odyssey.
St. Brendan of Clonfert was a historical Irish abbot and missionary who possibly lived from 484 to 577 AD. The first account of his legendary voyage was written in Latin (as ''Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis'') c. 900, presumably by an Irish monk. The work enjoyed popularity all over Europe, and from the 12th century onwards was translated or adapted into numerous European vernacular languages.
In this process, the legend branched out into several variants which modify or expand the original tale. To wit, in many later versions, an angel commands Brendan to undertake the voyage because Brendan did not believe in the existence of the Land of Promise and had burned a book telling about it. The voyage also takes nine rather than seven years, and there are additional adventures of the voyagers which do not appear in the earlier manuscripts. The number of Brendan's shipmates can vary from as few as 12 to as many as 150.
St. Brendan's voyage was widely taken for based on facts, and "St. Brendan's Island" frequently appears on maps between the 14th and 18th century as an island in the Atlantic, somewhere west of Europe or North Africa. However, in reality the tale is an example of an Irish ''imram'' or 'sea-voyage', i.e. a romance based in {{mythology}}, and the "Land of Promise" is actually a Christian re-interpretation of the Celtic Otherworld.

The Land of Promise, Barinthus relates, is a large island in the Western Sea which God had intended for mankind to inhabit, before mankind botched it with their sinfulness. In the Land of Promise it is always day, all plants are continually blooming and bearing fruits at the same time, all stones are gems, and the air is so refreshing that visitors need neither food, drink, or sleep. It is now uninhabited, but God will give it to the Saints at the end of times.
