Life of St. Declan of Ardmore and Life of St. Mochuda of Lismore
Irish Texts Society, Vol. 16
Produced by Dennis McCarthy
"Life of St. Declan of Ardmore and Life of St. Mochuda of Lismore" by P. Power et al. is a historical account that was likely written in the early 20th century. The text provides detailed biographies of two notable Irish saints, St. Declan and St. Mochuda, focusing on their lives, miracles, and contributions to the early Christian Church in Ireland. The work serves as a valuable resource for understanding the hagiographical tradition within Irish literature, shedding light on the cultural and spiritual landscape of early medieval Ireland. The opening of the text introduces the historical significance and context surrounding St. Declan, detailing his noble lineage and miraculous early life, notably his birth and the auspicious signs that accompanied it. The narrative outlines Declan's education under Christian scholars, his travels to Rome, and his eventual return to Ireland as a bishop to propagate Christianity. It mentions his interactions with other saints, including Patrick, and includes accounts of the miracles attributed to him, emphasizing his role in converting the people of his region, the Decies, from paganism to Christianity. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of early Christian missionary work in Ireland through the lens of Declan’s remarkable life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
