Tell others about Jesus: Though we are not all called to the ministry of a Pastor or Christian Writer, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians. Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). ____________ Copyright © Elizabeth Rees 2003.

Author: Elizabeth Rees The places where the Celtic Saints worked and prayed...can still be visited. Most biographies of the Celtic saints were written centuries after they lived, and are filled with legends, but the places where they worked and prayed, generally in the more remote parts of the country, can still be visited. Chapels and Huts The remains of their chapels and huts are often set in beautiful landscapes: sheltered valleys, peaceful lakeshores, sea caves, headlands and islands. Inscribed Stones and Early Texts Archaeology, the study of place-names, inscribed stones and early texts can tell us about how these men and women lived and the unique ideals they held. 250 Sites in the British Isles Using archaeological and literary evidence, Elizabeth Rees has produced the first ever guidebook to 250 Sites in the British Isles where Celtic saints lived and worked. Monasteries and Hermitages Brigit and Patrick in Ireland, David in Wales, Columba in Scotland and Aidan in Northumbria are among those who have monasteries and hermitages, chapels and holy wells dedicated to them. Listed Alphabetically by Area The sites examined here are listed alphabetically by area, with some 50 described in each of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and the rest of Britain. ________________________ |
History of Each Site, Directions to Find It Accurate descriptions are given, with a history of each site, directions about how to find it and, where relevant, useful information such as sailing times or where to find the church key. Lives of the Saints A final section gives an outline of the lives of the saints with whom these places are associated. ________________________ Celtic Sites and Their Saints is available to Supporters of The Prayer Foundation ™.
