Turas Cholm Cille Pocket Guide: Kindle edition
Category: NonFiction
Description:
Revised, updated and made available in ebook in 2021 to mark the 1500th anniversary of the birth of Colmcille on 7 December 521.
According to Manus O’Donnell’s Life of Colmcille (1532), the saint drove out “demons” which sought refuge there after being banished from Croagh Patrick in Co Mayo by St Patrick.
The Turas stones date back to the early Christian era as Colm Cille, and the pilgrim path also incorporates older elements of the local archaeology such at a 5,000 year old Court Cairn tomb.
