This study examines the complex phenomenon of Celtic Christianity, tracing its origins from early medieval religious expressions in Ireland and Scotland through its reinterpretation in modern spiritual movements. It highlights the romanticized and often idealised narratives surrounding Celtic saints and practices, emphasising that primary sources like hagiographies are malleable cultural texts rather than fixed historical records. The research explores how these flexible narratives underpin the identity and spirituality of contemporary neo-Celtic Christian communities, especially within charismatic Anglican circles. Ultimately, the Celtic Christian revival is presented not as a straightforward historical recovery but as a creative spiritual reinvention, resonating with modern seekers searching for authenticity, ecological connection, and mystical meaning.Downloads
