"Early Christian Sites in Ireland Database" Goes OnlineFor years now Father John Musther, known to many of you as the priest who leads the St. Ignatius Ireland Pilgriamages, has been collecting information and photographs of early Christian sites in Ireland and compling this information into a database. The database is very compehensive, covering all of the counties of Ireland, with many hundreds of sites, including photo galleries of each site. Now this valuable work has been made available to the public on the Internet for study by students and scholars, or for perusing by the curious. One can spend many hours travelling from Donegal to Waterford, from Kerry to Derry exploring the churches, monasteries, high crosses, cross slabs, grave slabs, tomb shrines, round towers, holy wells, and holy trees of Holy Ireland. There is an amazing amount of early Christian archaeology remaining in Ireland to this day, and this site will direct pilgrims and tourists alike to places of beauty and contemplation.  The Web address of the Early Christian Sites in Ireland Database is www.earlychristianireland.org. Father John Musther is the author of the book "The Living Tradition of the Saints" available from the Exarchate of Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe bookstore http://www.exarchate-uk.org/Publications/pubindex.html. 
Icon ExhibitSince the time of the visit of Metropolitan JOHN St. Ignatius has been sponsoring an
icon exibit as a means of educating the public on this important aspect of the Orthodox
faith. |
