St Brendan the Navigator: 3 Reasons why HE is one of the greatest Celtic Saints + A word on St Ita

St Brendan the Navigator (or Brendan the Voyager) is one of the most popular Celtic Saints. Fr Seraphim, from the Monastery of All Celtic Saints on the Isle of Mull (an Orthodox Monastery in Scotland) talks about St Brendan's Life, St Brendan's Voyage to the Isle of the Blessed and his love for St Ita, one of the most loved Saints of Ireland. St Brendan is an example of Christian personhood, as he used the Celtic tradition of a Pilgrimage without destination (or Pilgrimage for Christ) to fight for his authentic self and to stay honest to 'who he was' in Christ. His monastic life, his priesthood and his asceticism are founded on Christ's teaching and the Tradition of the Church. --- Support the Channel and the Monastery by making an online donation (PayPal / credit / debit cards): https://mullmonastery.com/donate/ USA Friends can also support the Monastery by cheques made to 'American Friends of the Celtic Saints' - a 501 (c) (3) organisation - and sent to 3736 W County Rd 4, Berthoud, CO 80513. --- The icon of 'St Brendan and St Ita', and the icon of 'St Fillan and the Twelve Apostles of Ireland' are available from the Monastery Icon Collection, the world's ONLY Collection dedicated to the Celtic Saints: https://shop.mullmonastery.com/produc... --- Buy one of the Monastery prayer ropes (hand-made by us, at the Monastery, from natural undyed black Hebridean sheep & shells from our shores): https://shop.mullmonastery.com/produc... --- SUBTITLES available for Russian, German, Romanian and English
