The Centre for Celtic Spirituality

A prayer for St. Brigid's Day, the beginning of Imbolc, the coming of Spring.
May our homes, like Brigid's, be places of hospitality and holiness.
May the calm that was Brigid's pinion you;
May the good that was Brigid's preserve you;
May the vitality that was Brigid's power you;
In the Name of God, the ever-fruitful Three.
(From Ray Simpson's "Celtic Worship through the year").

ST. BRIGID’S DAY 2012 – THE WORK OF ANGELS

Wednesday February 1st 2011 – St. Brigid’s Day 7:30p.m.

The Work Of Angels: The Art Of Early Christianity

An evening with Dr Rachel Moss from Trinity College Dublin’s History of Art Department. She will tell us about the beauty of the illuminated manuscripts of The Book of Kells and the artwork of Celtic Christianity – also about the Book of Armagh.

Modern Psychology tells us about the left brain and right brain approaches to knowledge. Celtic Christianity valued Artistic expression and reminds us of the importance of being able to express the whole of our humanity in the search for the Divine. ‘Knowing God’ is not just about theological books and academia. It is also about an experience of the Divine through the senses, through art and poetry and through the intuitive aspects of our humanity.

Venue: St. Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral

Admission: £5.00 – payable at the door.
