Will You Travel With This Irish Saint? (#716)
We hit the high seas in the company of Saint Brendan the Navigator and then come back onto dry land for a pilgrim trail towards Mount Brandon - reflecting on how these trails mirror so much of our journey in life.
We start this episode by hitting the high seas in the company of Saint Brendan the Navigator – a man who roamed the known (and unknown) world using the simple boats of his day. We then come back onto dry land and embark on a pilgrim trail towards Mount Brandon (named after the earlier mentioned Brendan) in County Kerry and reflect on how these trails mirror so much of our journey in life. All this and lots of music to enjoy along the way!
Enjoy!
