Tadhg Gaelach Ó Súilleabháin
Tadhg Gaelach Ó Súilleabháin (c. 1715 – 1795), known in English as Timothy O'Sullivan, was a composer of mostly Christian poetry in the Irish language whose ''Pious Miscellany'' was reprinted over 40 times in the early 19th century. Early life and works Ó Súilleabháin was born in Míntín Eoghain in the civil parish of Killeedy near Tournafulla, in the Sliabh Luachra region of County Limerick c.1715. His early works were reflective of Munster Irish bardic poetry of the period, including laments, eulogies, "drinking songs" and Aisling-themed war poetry promoting the Jacobite risings. Ó Súilleabháin lived in County Cork for a period and was friendly with fellow Jacobite poet Seán "Clárach" Mac Domhnaill. After moving to Dungarvan, County Waterford during the 1760s, he experienced a religious conversion and thereafter primarily composed Christian poetry in Munster Irish upon themes such as the Holy Trinity, the Virgin Mary, chastity, the rosary, and St Declán of Ardm ...

Christian Poetry
Christian poetry is any poetry that contains Christian teachings, themes, or references. The influence of Christianity on poetry has been great in any area that Christianity has taken hold. Christian poems often directly reference the Bible, while others provide allegory. Early history Poetic forms have been used by Christians since the recorded history of the faith begins. The earliest Christian poetry, in fact, appears in the New Testament. Canticles such as the ''Magnificat'' and '' Nunc Dimittis'', which appear in the Gospel of Luke, take the Biblical poetry of the psalms of the Hebrew Bible as their models. Many Biblical scholars also believe that St Paul of Tarsus quotes bits of early Christian hymns in his epistles. Passages such as Philippians 2:5-11 (following) are thought by many Biblical scholars to represent early Christian hymns that were being quoted by the Apostle: :''Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:Who, being in the form of God, though ...

Holy Trinity
The Trinity (, from 'threefold') is the Christian doctrine concerning the nature of God, which defines one God existing in three, , consubstantial divine persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons ('' hypostases'') sharing one essence/substance/nature ('' homoousion''). As the Fourth Lateran Council declared, it is the Father who s, the Son who is , and the Holy Spirit who proceeds. In this context, one essence/nature defines God is, while the three persons define God is. This expresses at once their distinction and their indissoluble unity. Thus, the entire process of creation and grace is viewed as a single shared action of the three divine persons, in which each person manifests the attributes unique to them in the Trinity, thereby proving that everything comes "from the Father", "through the Son", and "in the Holy Spirit". This doctrine is called Trinitarianism, and its adherents are called Trinitarians, whil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Clonmel () is the county town and largest settlement of County Tipperary, Republic of Ireland, Ireland. The town is noted in Irish history for its resistance to the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Cromwellian army which sacked the towns of Drogheda and Wexford.

Etymology The name Clonmel is derived from the anglicisation of the Irish name ''Cluain Meala'' meaning "honey meadow" or "honey valley".

Neo-Latin
Neo-LatinSidwell, Keith ''Classical Latin-Medieval Latin-Neo Latin'' in ; others, throughout. (also known as New Latin and Modern Latin) is the style of written Latin used in original literary, scholarly, and scientific works, first in Italy during the Italian Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and then across northern Europe after about 1500, as a key feature of the humanist movement. Through comparison with Classical Latin, Latin of the Classical period, scholars from Petrarch onwards promoted a standard of Latin closer to that of the ancient Romans, especially in grammar, style, and spelling. The term ''Neo-Latin'' was however coined much later, probably in Germany in the late eighteenth century, as ''Neulatein'', spreading to French and other languages in the nineteenth century. Medieval Latin had diverged quite substantially from the classical standard and saw notable regional variation and influence from vernacular languages. Neo-Latin attempts to retur ...

Eulogy
A eulogy (from , ''eulogia'', Classical Greek, ''eu'' for "well" or "true", ''logia'' for "words" or "text", together for "praise") is a speech or writing in praise of a person, especially one who recently died or retired, or as a term of endearment. Eulogies may be given as part of funeral services. In the United States, they take place in a funeral home during or after a wake; in the United Kingdom, they are said during the service, typically at a crematorium or place of worship, before the wake. In the United States, some denominations either discourage or do not permit eulogies at services to maintain respect for traditions. Eulogies can also praise people who are still alive. This normally takes place on special occasions like birthdays, office parties, retirement celebrations, etc. Eulogies should not be confused with elegies, which are poems written in tribute to the dead; nor with obituaries, which are published biographies recounting the lives of those who hav ...

St Patrick's Catholic Church, Waterford
St Patrick's Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Jenkin's Lane in the city of Waterford, Ireland. It is one of the oldest surviving Irish Catholic churches to have been built after the Reformation in Ireland. History Between the Reformation and Catholic Emancipation in 1829, Irish Catholics continued to worship in makeshift chapels or "mass houses", which were usually only tolerated by the Protestant authorities if they were built outside of city walls or boundaries. In Waterford, a slightly more tolerant attitude prevailed, perhaps reflecting the comparative wealth of the local Catholic community. The earliest record of the site being used for Catholic worship is of the Tridentine Mass, Mass being offered there in 1704. The present building was built in 1764. Edmund Ignatius Rice, the missionary and educationalist, worshipped at St Patrick's in about 1790, and joined other young men there in the "Waterford group", meeting for prayer and spiritual reading when it ...
