The liturgical year, beginning on the first Sunday of Advent and carrying through the following November, is the year that sets out to attune the life of the Christian to the life of Jesus, the Christ. What may at first seem to be simply an arbitrary arrangement of ancient holy days, or liturgical seasons, this book explains their essential relationship to one another and their ongoing meaning to us today. It is an excursion into life from the Christian perspective, from the viewpoint of those who set out not only to follow Jesus but to live and think as Jesus did.

Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle, a land of history and mystery, beauty and enchantment. But there's much more to this jewel of the North Atlantic than meets the eye. There is an 18th-century swordsman who defends the hidden treasure of Ballyheigue Castle, a proud house now gutted by fire; Princess Orloff, originally known as Angelica Parrott, who returned home to haunt a jealous sister; Lilith, a young inhabitant of eerie Skryne Castle, who was strangled with foxglove fronds in 1740....

This book examines the history of mythical people in Ireland such as the Tuatha Da Danann, the gods of these peoples, and their descendants. The fairies include the leprechauns - there being several different types - and the druids, who may also be descended from these ancient peoples. What is the history of fairies and druids? Did they really exist? There are stories about all of these beings who may have all been interrelated. Information on “the Otherworld” is also included. It is supposed to be a realm where these beings all originated and can return to.

Ireland is an ancient land, filled with prehistoric ruins, age-old traditions, and a rich and abiding folklore. Many of the old Irish traditions and tales dwell upon the world beyond our own, the shadow world of spirits. Every village and landmark has a tale attached to it, a good many of them rooted in pagan beliefs from prehistoric times. Others are more modern, and deal with historic tragedies such as the English invasion, the Potato Famine, or the Troubles.

Sickness is a Satanic curse that we who are born again from above are not subject to, for Jesus Christ has delivered us from that curse of sickness and death having been crucified in our place! Having risen on the third day, he has given us the victory and authority over all the powers of darkness. In the name of Jesus Christ, by the blood of the holy lamb and our testimony, we are overcomers! It is my heartfelt prayer that you are blessed listening to my testimony and discovering the revelations given me by the Holy Spirit of almighty God. All Glory to God! Praise Jesus! Hallelujah!
