Excerpt from Ancient Church Dedication in Scotland: Non-Scriptural Dedications
This volume is intended to complete my work on Ancient Church Dedications in Scotland. In the previous volume I dealt with our ecclesiastical buildings under the invocation of Scriptural Saints. In the present volume I deal with those dedicated to non-scriptural Saints, native and foreign. An attempt is made on the one hand to glance at the structural aspects of the ecclesiastical buildings here intro duced, and, on the other, to supply information, historical and legendary, regarding their titulars, as well as to indicate the connection of these titulars with festivals, art, and topography. Dedications to All Saints are not discussed in the following pages, as reference was made to them in my previous volume.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating history of church dedications in Scotland, shedding light on the country's rich religious heritage. It delves into the unique practices of the Celtic Church, which often named places of worship after their founders, and compares these to the later Roman Catholic tradition of using the names of saints unconnected to the locality. The book traces the gradual influence of Roman Catholicism, notably during the reign of St. Margaret in the 11th century, and the subsequent decline of Celtic practices, such as the Culdees, an influential monastic order. Through the examination of Christian stone monuments, the author provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of early Scottish Christianity. This book offers a captivating account of the evolution of religious practices in Scotland, highlighting the enduring legacy of both the Celtic and Roman Church.
