Written for older children but also suitable for adults, Celtic Heritage Saints celebrates a unique period of learning and holiness in the Celtic Church which flourished against the backdrop of the Dark Ages in Europe. The influence of great Celtic centers of learning such as Clonmacnoise, Lismore, Whitby and Bangor, the Light of the World, still fascinate us today.
Here are the key players of the age in brief biographies...the scholars, adventurous sailors, saints who got their heads chopped off, friends and enemies of Kings. Included, among others, are Colmcille, Brigid, Ciaran of Clonmacnoise, and Hilda of Whitby.
