The Celtic Prayer Garden is a six-acre
site laid out in the shape of the island of Ireland which depicts the
lives of the major saints of Ireland’s Golden Age (5th to 12th Century).
It affords the visitor/pilgrim an opportunity to learn about Ireland’s
Celtic Christian Heritage and the relevance of the charisms(gifts) these
men and women had and used in their everyday lives.
The garden is a place of incredible peace and natural beauty which
affords the pilgrim time and space away from today’s hectic pace of
life.
Using the Guide/Prayer Book the pilgrim will visit
The dry-stone cell of St Columba (Colmcille)
St Canice’s straw-bale, built Oratory
The bird sanctuary of St Ciaran
The cave of Columbanus
The Trinity Circle with its magnificent bronze statue of the Risen
Christ.
Having been spiritually refreshed in the garden, the cafe and shop at
the Visitor Centre provides lunch, beverages, snacks and an array of
hand-crafted gifts. Prior notification of group numbers is essential.
Opening times; Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm, Saturday and Sunday 2 pm
to 5 pm.
Admission; Guide/Prayer Book €5.00.
