  • St. Enda Catholic.Net
    St. Enda Catholic.net Early life and conversion According to the Martyrdom of Oengus, Enda was an Irish prince, son of Conall Derg of Oriel (Ergall) in Ulster. Legend has it that when his father died, he succeeded him as king and went off to fight his enemies. The soldier Enda was converted by his sister, Saint Fanchea, an abbess. He visited Fanchea, who tried to persuade him to lay down his arms. He agreed, if only she would give him a young girl in the convent for a wife. He renounced his dreams of conquest and decided to marry. The girl she promised turned out to have just died, and Fanchea forced him to view the girl's corpse, to teach him that he, too, would face death and judgment. Faced with the reality of death, and by his sister's persuasion, Enda decided to study for the priesthood, and studied first at St Ailbe’s monastery at Emly. Fanchea sent him to Candida Casa in southwestern Scotland, a great center of monasticism. There he took monastic vows and was ordained. The stories told of the early life of Saint Enda and his sister are unhistorical. More authentic vitae survive at Tighlaghearny at Inishmore, where he was buried. The Monastic School of Aran It is said that Enda learned the principles of monastic life at Rosnat in Britain. Returning to Ireland, Enda built a church at Drogheda. About 484 he was given land in the Aran Islands by his brother-in-law, Aengus, King of Munster. Three limestone islands make up the Aran Islands: Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer (respectively, the Great, Central and Eastern Island).

  • St Jarlath Tuam Diocese, Circa 550 6Th June
    St Jarlath Tuam diocese, circa 550 6th June The Gathering of God's People The Greeting The Lord be with you. And also with you. Sentence You are my strength, Lord, I will love you; Under the shadow of your wings protect me The Prayers of Moucan, Welsh, eighth century. Introduction Saint Jarlath (Iarlaithe mac Loga), was a priest and scholar from Connacht remembered as the founder of the monastic School of Tuam and patron saint of the Diocese of Tuam. His monastic school is said to have attracted scholars from all parts of Ireland including such students as St. Brendan of Ardfert and Saint Colman of Cloyne. The site of his foundation with the ruins of a 13th century parish church dedicated to St. Jarlath is close to Saint Mary’s cathedral. The cathedral itself houses a fine 12th century Hiberno-Romanesque sanctuary arch, said to be one of the finest in Europe. Also in St. Mary’s is the High Cross of Tuam, also 12th century, and dedicated to Turlough O’Connor, High King of Ireland c.1120-1156. Opening Prayer Let us pray to God the Father, God the Son, and to God the Holy Spirit whose infinite greatness enfolds the whole world, in persons three and one, in essence simple and triune, suspending the earth above the waters, hanging the upper air with stars, that he may be favourable to sinners who righteously justifies all who err, who ever-living lives. May God be blessed for ages. Amen. Moucan, Welsh, eighth century. Penitence O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who trust in him.

References to Palladius and the significance of these references to understanding the background to Christianity in Ireland before Patrick’s arrival. Early Irish society provided a great contrast to the society of the Roman Empire. For example, it had no towns or cities, no central government or no standard currency. Many Scholars have described it as tribal, rural, hierarchical and familiar. The Tuath was the basic political group or unit and was a piece of territory ruled by a King. It is estimated that there were about 150 such Tuath in pre – Christian Ireland. The basic social group was the fine and included all relations in the male line of descent.

    BOOK TWO CHAPTER 1 THE LIFE OF SAINT PATRICK APOSTLE OF IRELAND This information is mostly from the above book, supplemented by information from various other sources, and it is intended to describe the life of Saint Patrick in his travels throughout Ireland. He is credited with the conversion of Ireland from Paganism to Christianity. The book was: Published by R. WASHBOURNE, 18 Paternoster Row, London Printed April 16, 1870 by J. B. Lauwers, Vic-Gen. Sancta Trinitas Unas Deus These are individual statements and lines of prose which describe these activities which are related to Saint Patrick, and reflect the character and thinking of the Roman Catholic clergy, from whom they have originated. While the book from which they are taken more than likely does not exist any longer except in my own library, I have attempted to copy specific phrases and meanings from it, and only add clarity and continuity to their meanings. It is, by far, foe most complete book that I have found on this subject, and 1 have read many. On Page 5, foe author identifies "the sequestered Island of Eire, the seat of art, science and civilization; and thus predisposing the natives for receiving the truth of the Gospel" Since the illustrious Ollav Fola, (or Eochaidh Ollamh Fodhla, High King of Ireland - 1317 B. C. to 1277 B. C.) who was nearly contemporary with Lycurgus, instituted wholesale laws for limiting the powers of the monarch (of Ireland) and restraining the licentiousness of the subject, the people at large had become more civilized, courteous and polite.

Bowen A Thesis Submitted to the Department of History California State University Bakersfield In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History May 2015 Copyright By Melissa S. Bowen 2015 Acknowledgments I am incredibly grateful for the encouragement and support of Cal State Bakersfield’s History Department faculty, who as a group worked closely with me in preparing me for this fruitful endeavor. I am most grateful to my advisor, Cliona Murphy, whose positive enthusiasm, never- ending generosity, and infinite wisdom on Irish History made this project worthwhile and enjoyable. I would not have been able to put as much primary research into this project as I did without the generous scholarship awarded to me by Cal State Bakersfield’s GRASP office, which allowed me to travel to Ireland and study Beatrice Elvery’s work first hand. I am also grateful to the scholars and professionals who helped me with my research such as Dr. Stephanie Rains, Dr. Nicola Gordon Bowe, and Rector John Tanner. Lastly, my research would not nearly have been as extensive if it were not for my hosts while in Ireland, Brian Murphy, Miriam O’Brien, and Angela Lawlor, who all welcomed me into their homes, filled me with delicious Irish food, and guided me throughout the country during my entire trip.

    Tel: +353 (0)1 6681111 Web: www.claytonhotels.com Family Activities Sandymount A beautiful seaside residential suburb just a short drive from the Hotel. It is known for its long, breezy beach at Sandymount Strand, overlooked by a 19th- century Martello tower built for coastal defence. It’s a popular spot for fishing, kayaking, and weekend walks with views across Dublin Bay, also drawing crowds for summer swims in the Irish Sea. Inland, the village has upscale boutiques, delis, and gastropubs serving local oysters and mussels. DunLaoghaire This seaside town and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Ireland’s first ever railway connected the town to Dublin. Wonderfully located on the glistening south coast of Dublin bay, it can be reached by car or public transport.

    Last cups and saucers used by the Pearse Brothers in Scoil Éanna, Pearse Museum, St Enda’s, Rathfarnam The Museum of August Destiny 17 July – 4 September, 2016 St Carthage Hall, Lismore Castle Arts Lismore, Co. Waterford Aideen Barry Mark Clare Amanda Coogan Anthony Haughey Dragana Jurisic Sarah Pierce Curated by Dr Emily Mark-FitzGerald School of Art History and Cultural Policy, University College Dublin Edward Said drew a classic distinction between ‘beginnings’ and ‘origins’, arguing that the former arose from human action through the ‘intentional production of meaning’; while the latter required a myth claiming filiation with the divine.1 Traversing the two, and making visible the conceits of commemoration that have shaped the legacy of 1916, are the central concerns of The Museum of August Destiny. The Museum manufactures a temporary site of memory where the social and political aspirations laid out in the 1916 Proclamation are recalled and re-evaluated. The Proclamation occupies an imposing and iconic place in the national imagination – both as material document of history, and as a visionary (and militant) declaration of Irish sovereignty. It is also a document that embodies a series of paradoxes. It was unauthored—signed collectively by teachers, writers, poets, a musician, a trade unionist—but with no single individual named as creator. It was a cheaply printed physical document with makeshift typographic solutions, which now commands stratospheric prices at auction. It is a call to power, invested with an imagined national destiny, yet it was a manifesto that anticipated an immediate consequence of creation wrought through destruction. 1 Edward Said, Beginnings: Intention and Method (New York: Basic Books, 1975).
