Download or read book Celtic Sites and Their Saints written by Elizabeth Rees and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2003-02-10 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Rees, using this archaeological and literary evidence, has produced a guidebook to major sites in the British Isles where the Celtic saints lived and worked. Most biographies of the Celtic saints are filled with legends and were written centuries after they lived. But the places where they lived and worked, generally in the more remote parts of their home or adopted countries can still be visited. Their chapels and huts are often placed in beautiful landscapes: sheltered valleys, sacred springs, peaceful lakeshores, sea caves, headlands and offshore islands. Archaeology, the study of sites and place-names, inscribed stones, and early texts can bring us closer to how these men and women lived and to the unique ideals they held. Brigid and Patrick in Ireland, David in Wales, Columba in Scotland, and Aidan in Northumbria are among those who have left monasteries and hermitages, chapels and holy wells dedicated to them. The 250 sites examined here are listed alphabetically by area, with some fifty described in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and the rest of Britain. Accurate descriptions are given, with a history of each site, directions how to find it, and, where relevant, useful directions such as sailing times or where to find the key. A final section gives an outline of the lives of the saints with whom these places are associated.

Download or read book Mystic Land and Celtic Saints written by Ronnie Smith and published by Plenus Gratia Publications. This book was released on 2021-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ronnie Smith's Mystic Land and Celtic Saints is a wonder-full expression of Celtic poetry, scholarship, and art; an amazing creation that needs to be read meditatively so that its spirituality can sink deeply into one's heart. It is divided, as the title suggests, into two major sections: one on the nature and sacred landscape of Celtic lands, and the second on the rich heritage of the Celtic saints. Poetry and commentary are intertwined, so that the reader can appreciate poetry that sings, and scholarship that teaches much about Celtic history and holy sites. The art that accompanies the text beautifully illustrates the beauty of the poetry itself. Landscape from Skellig Michael, off the western coast of Ireland, to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, off the coast of northern England, as well as numerous other thin places are poeticized; well-known saints from the Patrick, Brigit, and Columcille to lesser-knowns like the bee-keeper Gobnait, the virgin Keyne, and the protector of hares Melangell are shown to be spiritual mentors for today. This book truly is, as Smith suggests in his introduction, a "pilgrimage" well-worth undertaking. Smith's book reveals how he himself stands in the ancient Christian tradition of the Celtic nature poets who from the 4th through the 13th centuries lived and wrote about the awesome wonder of nature itself. Ed Sellner is professor emeritus of theology and spirituality at St. Catherine University, St. Paul, Minnesota, where he taught for 35 years, and the author of numerous books on Celtic spirituality, his most recent, Celtic Saints and Animal Stories: A Spiritual Kinship (Paulist Press, 2020).
