Hi,
Thanks for writing this article, I wish one day I could visit Ireland.
Quite interesting the celtic cross.
I like your post on our Lady of Lourdes, and seek the world.
I wish you could write a little bit more about this post.
My mother’s name is Lourdes and she always thought us to be close to our Lady of Lourdes.
Hi Alejandra,
Lourdes is a place in the south-east of France, at the feet of the Pyrenees. It was there in the cave of Massabielle that mother Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous. It was the first apparition in a serie of many.
And girls were named Lourdes, or Immaculate in honor of our Lady.
So, yes… beautiful name indeed.
Thank you for your kindness. Stay blessed
Our Lady of Lourdes
How beautiful the video images you showed in this post.
I have to confess that I’m very ignorant when it comes to Ireland. I had never heard of Mary of the Gaels but I really liked what I saw here.
I can’t help but think of how that land looked like around 480 when the church and monastery were founded.
Maybe one day I’ll be able to visit it myself. Are visitors allowed there?
Hi Eliane
Thank you for your kind comments.
Ireland is a beautiful country to visit indeed … and the mystic soul of the Celts beats there like nowhere else.
Yes you can visit… and it is more than worth it!
Eire… the land of old… much unsolved histories… and so glad you grasped it.
Take good care… may the Road rise to meet you
This is definitely interesting and compelling. I’ve heard really intriguing tales of the Celts and their history. I’m sure it’ll make for a very wonderful visit. It is absolutely incredible the monastery was founded as far back as 480 ad. I’m curious though, how were they able to take over the pagan shrine?
What is in a name? It is your own intent that matters…
Hope you will visit soon… ;-)))
Hi Maria,I have only been to Ireland once and that was for a boozy weekend in Dublin, but there is more to Ireland than this. It is definitely a place I want to see more of in the future. My wife and I would love to spend a couple of weeks driving around Ireland to discover more.
Oh yes Tom… you will not regret the trip… wonderful country and people
Have a great day. Thank you.
Many thanks to you for putting up such an excellent article .Ireland is my favorite and I will go to Ireland on my next vacation .I have no idea about Ireland but I heard it’s a wonderful country .The celtic cross is really very interesting .I’ve heard of Mary, but after reading your article I really liked the details and to see how beautiful the images here are. After the charts and monastery was established, I found out that the country has got better .Your interest in reading this article has grown tremendously. So one of my questions is what are the visitors allowed to enter here?
Namaste!
Yes Shanta they are! Have a great trip.
thank you for your kind comment…
That’s a very interesting video about Ireland! If it wasn’t for that post I wouldn’t know this was from there. I’m definitely adding this stop on my trip to Ireland ! I was always interested in the history of Europe and Ireland always caught my special attention. Is the celtic people originally from Ireland or they were spread through Europe? Thank you for your post!
Eire is awesome to visit indeed… and celts once were spread all over Europe…
Happy travel! Thank you for visiting! Kildare is a real must to understand the soul of Ireland
Hi Maria, I’m glad I found this article. Your article is really unique and informative. After reading your article, I wish I could visit Mary of the Gaels in Ireland. I wish you could write a little more about this post, Then I could know a lot about Mother Mary. The video is very awesome and I love it. I can’t wait to read more posts like this. If you don’t mind, I will share this article on my social media account.Thank you so much for sharing with us such a beautiful article.
Hi Sabrinamou,
So glad you liked my blog… just an incentive, inviting to learn more and visit Ireland and Kildare indeed… its history and culture, and above all the beauty of its landscapes. And how the ancient cult was changed into a new one… Ireland has a great tradition, worth diving into.
For more readings on mother Mary, kindly read the first chapters of the book of Luke, devoted to her. She is indeed the mother of Jesus, a beautiful title given to her in traditions of the Middle East. And on the cross Jesus asked us to accept her as our mother too. The mystery of redemption is resumed in this: the incarnation and resurrection of our Savior by the Holy Spirit.
Amongst His later followers, several did not understand and refuted this. Leading to terrible errors in tradition and transmission of truth. Nestorianism being one of them.
Peace be with us Sabrinamou

Yes…! Lourdes is indeed related to the apparitions of Our Lady in Lourdes in France, a beautiful and peaceful place as well. Visited by millions of pilgrims from all over the world, it is the destination number one in France! I hope you and your mother will once have the opportunity to visit.
Wishing you both a blessed time

Mary of the Gaels, or St. Brigid of Kildare, is a beautiful example of faith, compassion, and devotion. Her life teaches us about the importance of loving God with our whole heart and serving others with humility and kindness. As you continue exploring, I encourage you to reflect on how her virtues might inspire your own spiritual journey.
