The Irish are a spiritual people. Irish Blessings offers a treasury of this spirituality, evidenced by warmth and kindness, generosity and goodwill. All these traits are preserved in the traditional blessings featured in this book; blessings handed down from generation to generation and spread by emigrants and missionaries. The stunning colour photographs of the Irish countryside are set opposite traditional blessings together with verse by such poets as Yeats, Synge and Joyce. The photographs represent the many moods of Ireland, from the crumbling stonewalls or the austere beauty of a ruined monastery to the bustle and splendour of Dublin.
