Celtic Monks
Celtic Monks were early Christian monks who lived in the Celtic regions of Europe, particularly in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. They played a crucial role in spreading Christianity during the early Middle Ages, often establishing monasteries that became centers of learning and culture. Their unique practices combined Christian beliefs with local traditions.
These monks were known for their dedication to prayer, study, and manual labor. They created beautiful illuminated manuscripts, such as the Book of Kells, which showcased their artistic skills. Celtic Monks also contributed to the preservation of classical texts and the promotion of education throughout Europe.
