Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Following the success of the three-volume series, Birth, Marriage and Death and the Irish (2016-2021), this collection examines the celebration of Christmas among the Irish, from the seventh century to the present day. In 75 articles, ranging from the serious to the light-hearted, writers from a range of academic disciplines and professions - Anthropology, Celtic Studies, Education, Folklore, Healthcare, History, Journalism, Literature, Media, and Broadcasting, Pastoral Ministry, Philosophy and Theology - reflect on what Christmas has meant to Irish people through the ages, whether living at home or abroad. Topics covered in this volume include: the theme of light in early Irish texts; festive feasting and fighting in the Middle Ages; the Kilmore carols of County Wexford; the history of Irish Christmas food through the centuries; crimes of Christmas past; Christmas on the Blasket Islands; the claim that 'Santa's Grave' is in County Kilkenny; why Irish missionaries in Zimbabwe regularly missed out on their Christmas dinner; the origins and early life of the Late Late Toy Show; a Christmas surprise among Irish peacekeepers in the Lebanon; Christmas customs among the Traveling Community; Christmas and the Irish Jewish community; the Wren Boys; 'Women's Christmas'; Irish links to popular Christmas carols; Christmas and James Joyce; the curious custom of reciting 4,000 Hail Marys in the lead up to Christmas, and why it became an established tradition for the Viceroy to send a woodcock to the British monarch every Christmas. This anthology will prove a fascinating read for all who are interested in the social, cultural, and religious history of Ireland, but, more importantly, will delight all who love Christmas itself.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A hilltop chimney in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains is a very prominent landmark, seen from land and sea. In the Glendalough valley and the adjacent Glendasan, ruined buildings and piles of spoil form very different landmarks. This volume explores the connection between the two, how they got there and when, looking at a very successful and profitable lead mining and smelting business occupied these sites in the nineteenth century. The book is the result of detailed research and investigations over nearly four decades and is illustrated by historic photographs, maps and engravings as well as more recent photographs to show the rich mining heritage at these separate, but related sites. This work provides a fascinating insight into the history of the Lead Mines of Glendalough and Ballycorus in Wicklow, with detailed information and illustrations.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Archaeologists frequently come across puzzling evidence for ritual activity and Pagan Ireland looks at some of these discoveries. This is a survey of the many rituals and beliefs that were vitally important elements of life in ancient Ireland over several thousand years from at least 4000 BC. Driven by a very human desire to make sense of the world and transform their lives, people created sacred spaces and monuments to facilitate communication with the gods and with ancestral figures. A multiplicity of sacred phenomena were a part of everyday experience, with landscapes and objects often holding unworldly meaning. Written for a general readership, this wide-ranging study draws on archaeological evidence and on what is known about ritual practices in other cultures to address the difficult question of what beliefs might lie behind certain ritual activities. Sometimes it is possible to make a plausible guess as to what these may have been. A circle of stones was more than just a way of marking a sacred space, the round plan was an expression of a belief in a circular, cyclical cosmos as witnessed in the path of the sun and the fixed stars, and in the rhythm of the year. Sun worship is recorded throughout prehistory and is apparent not just at famous sites like Newgrange but in imagery in gold and bronze at a later date. The great disc of the sun traveled across the daytime sky and at night was believed to descend beneath the earth in the west, traversing a mysterious underworld, to rise again in the east. Funerary ceremonies, solar symbolism, magical metalworking, an enduring belief in the cosmic circle, fertility rites, idol worship and much more were all a part of a great pagan tapestry. Veneration of the old gods survived well into Christian times. Archaeologists frequently come across puzzling evidence for ritual activity and Pagan Ireland explores a wealth of these discoveries. This work is a survey of the many rituals and beliefs that were vitally important elements of life in ancient Ireland over several thousand years from 4000 BC onwards.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On present evidence, the human settlement of Ireland commenced some ten thousand years ago, and the prehistoric story thus cover over eight and a half thousand years. Now in a third edition, this book provides a chronological account of this timespan and, with numerous illustrations, charts the development of the first hunting and foraging communities, the achievements of the agriculturalists with their remarkable megalithic tombs, and the technological advances of the later bronze and iron using societies.Recent decades have seen some exceptional developments in the study of the prehistoric archaeology of Ireland. New discoveries, excavations and research, new theoretical approaches and the increasing application of radiocarbon and tree-ring dating have all made an enormous contribution to the better understanding of this remote past. As well as being a comprehensive and original review of the subject, this edition answers the need for a detailed introduction to a large body of archaeological evidence resulting from the explosion of work completed in the last 15 years. In that respect, it could be said to bring Ireland's prehistoric past up to date.
