The Ardagh, a version of the original Celtic chalice.
24 Karat goldplate contrasting on antique Silver Plate. Adorned with fire enamel cabochons and garnet stones.
7 3/4" Ht. - 5 1/8" Cup - 20 Oz.

The origin of this chalice goes back to the second phase of the Christian Era, during the beginning of the VIII century. It was discovered in the late XIX Century in Ireland by a small boy that was digging potatoes in Reerasta Rath, near the village of Ardagh. The chalice seemed a treasure that most likely belonged to a rich and well-established Irish monastery. Its unique low design with two handles, hand forged construction in solid silver, deeply engraved Celtic ornamentation and fire enameled cabochons make this chalice the most important and richest of the first Irish Christian objects and clearly one of the finest metal pieces from the VIII Century that has been discovered so far.
This version of the Ardagh chalice is taller and resembles more the shape of a chalice than the original. Like its predecessor, it features a deep Celtic engraved design on cup, base and node as well as engraved and fire enameled cabochons.

Ciboria and monstrance available.

Confusing paradox surrounds the Bible.

Some look to it as the definition of reality and deny science; others see science alone as the arbiter of truth and deny the Bible. Both extremes are merely symptoms of a still wider debate on the place of ancient spiritual wisdom in a science-dominated world. Following the Reformation and Enlightenment, the Western world gained great power but lost its spiritual bearings. This book draws on numerous sources, ancient and modern, to examine what the missteps were that have brought us to a point of such confusion, and in doing so argues cogently against the modern philosophy of scientific materialism. With the aid of biblical stories and imagery it suggests how we might find our way back to balance, where ancient wisdom and modern science can together shed light on humans and their encompassing reality.
