Tá ceol is filíocht an phobail le fáil sa díolaim shuntasach seo de phaidreacha dúchasacha Gaeilge ón Mheánaois go dtí an lá inniu - paidreacha a tugadh ó ghlúin go glúin mar chuid den traidisiún béil. Le domhan na Gaeilge a bhaineann na paidreacha seo, agus tá teanga is rithim na seanamhrán le sonrú iontu.

Seo chugainn na haingle agus na haspail; Bríd agus a brat; Micheál agus a sciath; Naomh Pádraig agus Colm Cille Dhún na nGall. Maisithe le saothar Evie Hone, an t-ealaíontóir cráifeach, tugtar dúinn sa leabhar seo meascán de phaidreacha d’ócáidí ar leith, d’fhéiltí ar leith agus roinnt paidreacha móra, ina measc ‘Lúireach Phádraig’ agus ‘Caoineadh na dTrí Mhuire’. Tá an creideamh le sonrú iontu i nDia grámhar - chomh maith le ceiliúradh ar gach rud ‘ón ní is ísle crannchuir go dtí an t-ainm is airde’.

‘The prayer is a ladder to Paradise…’

The music and poetry of the Irish people is to be found in this wonderful anthology that spans two thousand years of devotion. Emerging from oral culture, these prayers are charged with the language and rhythms of traditional song.

Here are the angels and the apostles; Bríd and her cloak; Michael and his shield; and the great Irish saints Patrick and Colm Cille. Featuring reproductions of works by stained glass artist Evie Hone, this book presents prayers for every season and occasion. At every turn they sing the praises of a loving God - and celebrate all of creation, ‘from the lowliest thing to the highest name’.
