This book traces the spirituality of the Celtic Church in Wales and its relationship to pre-Christian Celtic religion and the radical Christianity of the monks and hermits of the Egyptian Desert. First published in 1993.

March 1 is St. David's Day, a national and sacred observance of the Welsh people. St. David was the St. Patrick of Wales, an early missionary and spiritual father. This book was somehow not accessible enough for me to appreciate. I did get a glimpse of the wonderful, sacred spirituality of the Welsh people:

Collect for St. David's Day:

God our Father, you gave Saint David to the people of Wales to uphold the faith:
encouraged by his example, may we joyfully hold fast to the things which lead to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with you and the Holy Spirit
be all honour and glory, now and for ever. AMEN.
