The Early Religion of Ireland: From Pagan to Christian with Mary Ann Eaton

The Early Religion of Ireland: From Pagan to Christian with Mary Ann Eaton

Presented by Cultural Center of Cape Cod at Cultural Center of Cape Cod

Eight Wednesdays beginning July 6 from 3-5pm. The ancient Irish worshipped their divine through the unique practice of Druidism until Christianity began to be preached in the 5th century. In this course, we will look at Druidism in the life of the ancients; the uniqueness of the early Christian Church in Ireland along with some of its saints (Patrick, Brigid, Brendan); why monastic life at Clon MacNois, Michael Skellig, and Iona flourished and contributed much to society; and we will end the study with a glimpse into the beauty and uniqueness of Celtic spirituality. Course readings are a combination of handouts (small charge payable to instructor) and books ordered by student from online sources. The booklist will be emailed to registered students. Cost $85 per person. Call 508-394-7100 to register.
