Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Who was Brigid of Kildare-really?Not the romanticized goddess.Not the sanitized saint of greeting cards.But the historical woman who founded one of the most powerful spiritual centers in early medieval Europe.This book offers a clear-eyed, historically grounded portrait of Ireland's most influential female saint, drawing carefully from early sources while cutting through centuries of myth, nationalist invention, and modern spiritual projection.Brigid emerges here as she was remembered by her own world: a fifth-century abbess of immense authority, founder of Kildare, protector of the poor, distributor of food and wealth, spiritual leader of both women and men, and a figure whose power unsettled kings and later churchmen alike.Rather than flattening Brigid into either legend or ideology, this book restores her complexity.You will discover: What the earliest sources actually say about Brigid's life and authorityHow Kildare functioned as a center of sanctuary, hospitality, and real social powerWhy Brigid's generosity was considered disruptive, not sentimentalWhat the miracle stories reveal about early Irish Christian valuesHow and why the "goddess Brigid" theory arose-and where it breaks downWhat Brigid's spirituality looked like in practice: food, fire, protection, mercy, and justiceAuthentic prayers and devotional texts rooted in manuscript tradition, not modern inventionHow Brigid's legacy shaped Irish Christianity long after her deathWritten with scholarly care but plain language, Brigid of Kildare: High Queen of Early Christian Ireland is neither devotional fluff nor academic abstraction. It is a serious, readable encounter with a woman whose life reshaped faith, power, and community in early Ireland-and whose influence still endures.For readers interested in: Early Irish ChristianityWomen and authority in the early churchCeltic history beyond mythologyHistorically grounded spiritualitySaint Brigid without romantic distortionThis is the Brigid worth knowing.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A quiet, grounded journey into Ireland's winter soul.Celtic Christmas: Ireland's Sacred Winter Traditions explores how people in Ireland once lived through the darkest weeks of the year - with patience, ritual, hospitality, and faith shaped by land, weather, and light.Drawing on early Irish law texts, poetry, saints' lives, folklore, and monastic practice, this book traces the meaning of winter from Advent through the Twelve Days and into the returning light of early spring. It moves from bare fields and frozen roads to the warmth of the hearth; from candlelit windows and open doors to Brigid's enduring flame; from deep midnight stillness to winter pilgrimage, solitude, and blessing.Rather than offering modern reinventions or romantic fantasy, this book stays close to historical reality: how winter was actually experienced in rural and early Christian Ireland, and how people learned to live well within its limits. Saints such as Brigid and Kevin of Glendalough appear not as distant icons, but as figures shaped by cold, scarcity, generosity, and attentiveness to place.This is not a book of quick traditions or decorative folklore. It is a slow, reflective work for readers who want depth - those drawn to Celtic spirituality, Irish history, seasonal living, and a quieter, more faithful way of marking Christmas.Inside you will find: The meaning of winter in early Irish life and lawThe hearth as the centre of hospitality, prayer, and survivalBrigid's winter flame and traditions of generosityThe Twelve Days as a lived season, not a single feastMidnight stillness, vigil, and winter prayerKevin of Glendalough and the discipline of solitudePilgrimage, blessing, and the long road in winterThe return of light as something patiently awaitedWritten in a clear, measured voice and grounded in authentic sources, Celtic Christmas invites the reader to slow down, attend to the season as it is, and rediscover a Christmas shaped by restraint, reverence, and quiet joy.Ideal for readers of Celtic spirituality, Irish history, seasonal theology, and contemplative Christian tradition.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Who was Patrick - really?Not the parade-day saint. Not the shamrock symbol. The real Patrick: a teenager seized from Britain, enslaved in Ireland, and transformed by captivity into one of the most compelling voices in early Christian history.Patrick of Ireland: From Slave to Apostle returns to the primary sources - Patrick's own surviving writings, the Confessio and the Letter to Coroticus - to recover the historical figure behind fifteen centuries of legend. Drawing on manuscript scholarship and early Irish hagiography, Eochaid Mac Colla separates the authentic Patrick from later mythologizing, tracing his theology of weakness, his confrontation with unjust power, and his call to return to the very land of his captivity.This is not a devotional retelling. It is a serious, accessible account of a man whose authority came not from status but from suffering - and whose writings remain one of the earliest first-person testimonies in Irish history.Readers will discover: What Patrick actually wrote, and why it still startlesHow five distinct layers of tradition obscured the historical figurePatrick's theology of captivity, mercy, and compelled witnessHis fierce moral stand against Christian slave-raidersHow to engage his legacy honestly todayFor readers of Celtic Christianity, early medieval history, and anyone seeking the real man behind the legend.
