Ancient monasteries stand among green valleys and quiet lakes; Celtic crosses recall a civilization shaped by the Gospel; and the memory of saints, missionaries and martyrs remains deeply rooted in Irish Catholic identity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"863\">This pilgrimage follows the extraordinary story of <strong data-start=\"656\" data-end=\"677\">Christian Ireland<\/strong>, beginning with <strong data-start=\"694\" data-end=\"709\">St. Patrick<\/strong>, whose evangelization transformed the island and helped create one of the great centers of Christian learning and missionary activity in medieval Europe.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"865\" data-end=\"1052\">We will enter the world of the early Irish monks at <strong data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"932\">Glendalough<\/strong>, founded by <strong data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"958\">St. Kevin<\/strong>, and at <strong data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"984\">Monasterboice<\/strong>, where magnificent High Crosses still proclaim the Gospel in stone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1381\">At <strong data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1066\">Knock<\/strong>, our journey becomes especially Marian.
