First sentence: Today the phrase "Celtic saints" invokes half-legendary images of ancient figures such as Patrick, Brigid, and Columba; bishops, monks, and nuns both austere and adventuresome; and perhaps even wandering sages and missionaries, rather than martyrs such as Oliver Plunkett, resolute founders and educators like Nano Nagle and Mother McCauley, reformed alcoholics like Matt Talbot, a hidden poet like Anne Griffiths, or a young lay missionary like Edel Quinn.
Description: The inspired wisdom of the saints and scholar who made the Celtic lands a lamp of learning and holiness.
