Description:

This full-color gift edition presents an inspiring and fascinating work of Celtic spirituality.

Beginning with the ancient sun-oriented monuments of the megalithic age, Jakob Streit traces an unbroken spiritual culture in Ireland from the time of its stone circles and dolmens through the Celtic era and into the period of the early Christian stone crosses. He describes the amazing missionary zeal of monks such as Columba, who established Celtic Christianity throughout Europe during the Dark Ages, until it was suppressed by the Church of Rome during the eighth century.

Fully illustrated in color, this is a book to give and cherish.
