Miss G with Little House of Music wanted to share this picture of my son Chris with his wife Catherine standing in front of Trinity College in Ireland. Founded by Queen Elizabeth I to "civilize" Dublin, Trinity College is Ireland's oldest and most famous college. Stopping by the atmospheric campus is a must while in Ireland. You can walk in the footsteps of some of the college's noted alumni, among them Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker and Samuel Beckett. While there you must see the famous "Book of Kells."
The "Book of Kells" also known as the "Book of Columba" illuminated manuscript that is a masterwork of Western Calligraphy and represent the pinnacle of Insular illumination. It is widely regarded s Ireland's finest National Treasury. The "Book of Kells" was transcribed by the Celtic Monks and contains the four Gospels of the New Testament in Latin.
The picture on the right is of a page in the "Book of Kells." Isn't it beautiful?

This blogging is so much fun plus very educational. I have learned so many things since I started to blog.
Enjoy!
