Full Product Description

The Curses of St Colmcille explores the dramatic folklore and medieval traditions surrounding one of Ireland's greatest saints.

St Colmcille (Columba) is remembered as a scholar, missionary and founder of Iona, yet Irish tradition also tells of moments when his words carried the weight of divine justice. These stories speak of broken promises, disputes between kings and the belief that a saint's blessing—or curse—could bring profound consequences.

This RareGer card features:

• Who was St Colmcille?

• Why were his curses feared?

• The Curse of the Shipbuilders

• The Curse on King Diarmait

• Faith, Justice & the Power of Words

• A Lasting Legacy

Rather than celebrating vengeance, these ancient tales remind us of the importance of honour, truth and keeping one's word in early Irish society.
