Celtic Christianity

 

CELTIC PRAYER
Celtic prayer is at the heart of Celtic Spirituality. To pray these prayers coming from the Celtic lands of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales one is drawn into the mystery of God’s presence in all things and the joy of expressing that presence in a pattern of praise and blessing.

KEEPING COMPANY WITH THE CELTIC SAINTS
The Celtic saints are perceived to be anamchairde or “soul friends.” In the Celtic tradition, it is understood that a soul friend is a spiritual necessity.

CELEBRATING CREATION: A CELTIC CHRISTMAS
As far as we can tell, the pre-Christian religious practices of the Celtic peoples were inclined to celebrate the natural world as shot through with divine presence. For them, a faith tradition that celebrated the divine becoming human was plausible, welcome and true.

FINDING NEW LIFE: A CELTIC EASTER
In a singularly emphatic manner, the tradition of prayer from the Celtic tradition of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Cornwall and the Isle of Man rejoices in the resurrection.

SOUL FRIENDS
In the Celtic tradition, one of life's greatest blessings is befriending one another in Christ.
