Explore the Celtic and Reformed roots of Christianity in Ireland and Scotland with this twelve-day pilgrimage. Explore pre-Christian, early Christian, and modern Celtic spirituality, allowing time to pray and reflect. Highlights include the Stone Age passage tomb at Newgrange and the hill of Tara, the Glendalough monastic site, the Celtic high crosses at Monasterboice, the Book of Kells in Dublin, and the cathedrals of Edinburgh. In Derry, visit the Columba Heritage Center before the trip continues to the Scottish isle of Iona where St. Columba founded his iconic monastery. While in Northern Ireland, the group will visit Belfast on a dual narratives tour to learn about the history of The Troubles, then spend time with the Corrymeela Community on the Antrim Coast to learn about their peacemaking work. The whole trip is dotted with spectacular scenery and warm Irish and Scottish culture. This itinerary provides an accurate look at what you may expect in your 12-day tour, but may be adjusted for efficiency and guide availability.
