In 2006, a man operating a digger in a Tipperary bog uncovered a book of Psalms dating to around AD 800.
The Faddan More Psalter had been buried for roughly 1,200 years, its cover even contained papyrus from the Mediterranean.
What an incredible piece of Irish Christian history.

Imagine finding a 15th-century Irish manuscript hidden inside a castle wall!
That's how the Book of Lismore was rediscovered in 1814. It's full of saints' lives, Irish tales and even Marco Polo's travels.
After years in England, it finally returned to Cork in 2020. 🇮🇪

It survived centuries, passing between families and churches.
What a treasure. 🇮🇪

A child was born aboard the Eagle Wing during its failed voyage to America in 1636.
His name? Seaborn.
The ship returned after storms, and the Presbyterian minister John Livingston baptised him.

Proof. Although it's colorized. Mock all the false gods you can find beloved, they're all different faces of the same serpent.

Meanwhile the Lord throughout the Scriptures curses both the false gods and those who worship them.
Christians are called to conform to God’s likeness and ways. So yes Christians should curse false gods
The Book of Dimma is an 8th-century Irish Gospel book.
Someone later erased names in its notes and wrote "Dimma" instead.
Even medieval manuscripts weren't immune to a bit of historical tampering.
