Publisher's Synopsis
The Life of St. Declan of Ardmore is a biographical book written by Reverend P. Power that tells the story of St. Declan, an Irish saint who lived in the 5th century. The book describes St. Declan's life from his birth to his death, including his upbringing, his conversion to Christianity, and his many miracles and accomplishments as a bishop and missionary. It also explores the historical and cultural context of St. Declan's life and the impact he had on the people of Ireland. The book is a comprehensive and detailed account of St. Declan's life and legacy, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish history or Christian spirituality.On the night of Declan's birth a wondrous sign was revealed to all, that is to the people who were in the neighbourhood of the birthplace; this was a ball of fire which was seen blazing on summit of the house in which the child lay, until it reached up to heaven and down again, and it was surrounded by a multitude of angels. It assumed the shape of a ladder such as the Patriarch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
