The Celtic Revival

The Celtic Revival (ca. 430-800 AD)

Beginning with the work of Patrick, a great awakening to Christ began in Ireland. Within two generations, it spread to Europe, bringing widespread revival to churches there and awakening of many people to the Gospel. Thomas Cahill described the Celtic Revival as a period in Christian history when Irish believers and missionaries “saved civilization.” The resources on this page can give you more information about this period, and why we at The Fellowship of Ailbe look back to it for instruction, inspiration, and direction.
