The shape of the Celtic origins in Christ have rapids, crags, and wind through civilization. "It began with an independent catholicity (or a sort to semi-Protestantism), [Ireland] was Christianized without bloodshed and independently of Rome...." (Schaff, History IV, 43). There have been three spiritual parents to the Celts, a father, Patrick, a mother, Bridget (Brigid 'Bride') of Kildare, and a brother, Colum-cille.
Columba said, "My Druid [Priest] is Christ, the son of God, Christ, Son of Mary, the Great Abbot [father], the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost."
