The Origins of the Irish: a review
Black and red are supposed to have been the colors of Atlantis.
Perhaps that can be equivalent to saying that green is the color of Ireland or that gray, green, orange, pink, purple, red, white and yellow respectively invoke Kahoolawe, Molokai, ...

The Origins of the Irish: a review
I don't know anyone who believes in Atlantis or its supposed connection with Ireland. I did not know of the significance of black and red.

Our Lady's House at Ephesus
We know little or nothing about the apostles' family connections. We are not privy to God's reasons for doing anything.
St John, after the Assumption, just carried on with his work as an apostle. He is associated with Asia Minor, modern ...

The Origins of the Irish: a review
Online sources as newspaper articles predominantly from the early 2000s attempt to link Irish ancestors with Atlantis.

A lack of key nutrients somewhere on the western side of the Atlantic pond generally invites heavy-duty soil-amending to grow what is native and what is non-native to the area.

Our Lady's House at Ephesus
The name Ephesus always appeals to me. Perhaps it goes back to growing up -- ;-D -- with Our Lady Mary, Joseph of the Good Death and Jesus Christ.

Our Lady's House at Ephesus
The phrase "died in Jerusalem" is contradictory to the belief that she did not die, since she had no sin. The Assumption of Mary is taken as she was taken into Heaven without dying. I realize this would not have been accepted in the distant ...

Sadly, you are correct about the limited capacity for woodland in this overcrowded isle.But both islands need trees. However, the west of Ireland,which is covered with blanket bog in some places, especially County Mayo and parts of Galway and ...

Thinking About Painting Your Walls Pink?
Might pink interiors need to be hinted at by pink exteriors?
On the other hand, people paint their house innards perhaps more than their house outsides. Repainting often puts into effect different color schemes than the original or the ...
