description: In "Praying With Celtic Holy Women", Bridget Mary Meehan and Regina Madonna Oliver introduce us to Celtic holy women, both familiar and unfamiliar. Based on the Irish-American coauthors' first hand research in Ireland and Wales, this book reveals a new slant on the Celtic spiritual traditions that have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in the past few years. Part One of "Praying With Celtic Holy Women" discusses the theological underpinnings and origins of Celtic spirituality. Part Two narrates the legends and stories surrounding the primary Celtic holy women of the fifth through eighth centuries, reflecting especially on the pertinence to twenty-first century life. Each section includes prayers and reverent exercises appropriate to each woman saint.
