Product Description
•••••
In 6th century Ireland, the memory of the great missionary, Saint Patrick, was strong, but so was the influence of the old pagan religion. This new Vision Book, Saint Kevin of Glendalough, tells the story of one of the greatest saints of the Emerald Isle.
Saint Kevin founded a monastery in 6th century Ireland that was a beacon of light for the next 800 years. Saint Kevin worked miracles, communed with animals, and inspired thousands to leave everything to follow Christ. Saint Kevin’s example and ministry helped root the light of the Christian faith deep into the hearts of the Irish people. Anyone who visits Saint Kevin’s monastery today will feel his holy and peaceful influence.
Kevin McKenzie spent seven years researching the life of Saint Kevin, visiting places where he lived, and personally translated Saint Kevin’s thousand-year-old Latin life into English. He also set out to walk from Ireland to Rome to better understand Saint Kevin’s own pilgrimage to Rome.
