Book of Kells
Illuminated gospel book in Latin (preserved in the Trinity College Library, Dublin) that is a masterpiece of the ornate Hiberno-Saxon manuscript art. It was begun in the late 8th century at the Irish monastery on the Scottish island of Iona, and after a Viking raid the book was taken to the monastery of Kells in County Meath, where it was completed in the early 9th century.
Elcmar
The king of the gods Dagda
became infatuated with Elcmar's beloved Boinn. So he sent Elcmar on
a mission that he swore would take no longer than a single day and night.
However, Dagda had a trick up his sleeve. As soon as Elcmar had departed
on his journey, the god uttered a spell that stopped time. The sun did
not set and the moon did not rise for months on end; nine months to
be exact. Dagda impregnated Boinn and waited until the birth of their
child before returning time to its natural state. The child, a son,
was named Aengus
