One turned up palm is out the window, stiff as a cross beam, when a blackbird lays in it and settles down to rest.
-Seamus Heaney
A poem about St. Kevin
A lovely day of a pilgrimage through the Glendalough Monastic area. Father Pat from the Tearmann Spirituality Centre led us through the settlement, holding rituals in various places. We ended the day with a service of Eucharist in the ruins of Mary’s Chapel. We are grateful to be in this place.
What are your stories of Glendalough?
Looks wonderful. Great pic! Thanks, Beth!
Thanks Dan.
I appreciate your pictures and prayers from each site. I love St. Kevin and have written&used a short meditation on his blackbird story- highlighting hospitality of heart and patience.
Thanks for sharing the journey with those of us at home!
Hi Cathy. I’m so happy to share. I have only just learned about st Kevin. I feel blessed to be here and sharing.
