THE LIVES OF EARLY SAINTS IN BRITAIN & IRELAND 

The Christian Light before the Schism

​

Disclaimer - The Lives of the Saints was compiled and translated in Greek following a thorough investigation of various sources, primarily accessed via the internet. This included both religious and secular content, as well as information obtained from established Orthodox websites and other religious denominations.

 

The selected articles and documentaries were chosen for the wealth of information and the quality of their presentation. Naturally, we endeavor to source the best available materials to illustrate the lives of each saint. Given the diverse range of sources available, it is essential that the viewers must exercise caution and discernment, as you may encounter not only useful information but also personal and misguided opinions and perspectives.

 

*Please note that the views expressed in the documentaries are intended for informational purposes only and may not reflect the personal opinions of the publication or its editors.

 

** If you are looking for a particular Saint use the "Search" box on the top of the website.

***In addition, please note that gathering of information about the Lives of the Saints is an ongoing process, and it may take a year or two to incorporate the majority of the Saints. We appreciate your patience during this time.

"There is an ancient story still alive in Ireland today claiming that the first Celtic Cross was created in Ireland by Saint Patrick.  Called by God to be a missionary in Ireland, Patrick, inspired by an early morning vision, added the symbol of the Rising Sun to the Cross, providing pagan followers with a transformative symbol of Christianity. A rising faith in the person of Jesus Christ that parallels the life-giving symbolism of the sun.."
