Has some beautiful stained glass illustrations and some sculpture, but most of the illustrations are poorly credited. The manuscript examples used in the book are not listed at all. There is no bibliography. Interesting in that it gives a brief glimpse into the lives of Celtic saints for the non-catholic. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Enter the magical, mystical world of the Celtic saints, through beautiful illustrations and tantalizing tales filled with spells and curses, miracles, and the power of nature. These holy men and women have always played an important role in Celtic society, from pre-Christian times until the present day. Explore the world of the Celtic saints, including the landscape, the violent wars taking place, and the role of the Church. Gain an understanding of the strained relationship between the Roman and Celtic churches and the transition from paganism to Christianity. Meet captivating spiritual heroes and heroines, including St. Brigid, the epitome of kindness and charity; the royal martyr St. Doged Frenin, who died defending his land and family; St. Helen Luyddog, the spiritual protectress of travelers; and; of course, the most famous of all, St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. This exquisite guide to the lives and lore of national heroes and local legends is at the same time a fascinating journeyinto the past and a celebration of the enduring legacy of the Celtic saints.
