Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating history of church dedications in Scotland, shedding light on the country's rich religious heritage. It delves into the unique practices of the Celtic Church, which often named places of worship after their founders, and compares these to the later Roman Catholic tradition of using the names of saints unconnected to the locality. The book traces the gradual influence of Roman Catholicism, notably during the reign of St. Margaret in the 11th century, and the subsequent decline of Celtic practices, such as the Culdees, an influential monastic order. Through the examination of Christian stone monuments, the author provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of early Scottish Christianity. This book offers a captivating account of the evolution of religious practices in Scotland, highlighting the enduring legacy of both the Celtic and Roman Church.
