Synopsis

The Celts believed that the visible and invisible worlds, the material and spiritual were one. For them, certain places were sacred - places where the divide between visible and invisible was very thin. This text leads the reader into a deeper reflection on what sacred space means.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There are many books that explore actual, physical, sacred space and pilgrimage sites. This is a different kind of book. It introduces seven traditional 'sacred spaces' but then leads readers into a deeper reflection on what such 'sacred space' means in our own lives and experience. The various sacred spaces explored are: the Celtic Cross; the infinite knot; hilltops; wells and springs; causeways and bridges; thresholds and burial grounds; and boundaries. In each chapter, the author introduces a 'sacred space' as the main theme and then illustrates this by associating it with a particular stage of life and a particular sacramental experience. The ideas are then brought together by means of a scripture story.
