Soulfaring : Celtic Pilgrimage Then And Now

$30.95

The ancient Celtic custom of peregrinatio (or wandering) is fully evident in Pemberton’s introduction to 15 ancient sites on the British Isles (e.g., Croagh Patrick, Iona, St. David’s). A member of the Episcopal Order of St. Helena, she has been leading workshops and retreats there for years.

In the past few years pilgrimage-going to ancient holy sites in search of God-has become increasingly popular for people seeking to deepen their relationship with the Holy. Sister Cintra Pemberton seeks to enrich the experiences of today’s pilgrims by helping them draw on the history of pilgrimage itself, as well as by suggesting particularly rich sites to visit. Part One of Soulfaring explores the history of pilgrimage, beginning in Celtic times, and moving through the early Christian period, the Middle Ages, and even the revival of pilgrimage today. Part Two explores fifteen sites in Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Each of the descriptions of the various sites includes not only suggestions of what may be seen there, but the author’s personal meditations on the experience of the Holy in each place.
