Ar an gclár inniu, déanfar comóradh ar Naomh Colmcille, a saolaíodh 1,500 bliain ó shin ar an 7ú Nollaig 521.  Cloisimid faoin gcomaoin a chuir Colmcille ar fhilí na hÉireann, faoi na leabhair is tábhachtaí atá luaite leis, agus mar gheall ar thraidisiún na lámhscríbhinní. Cloistear freisin faoin togra Coinneal Cholmcille, a dhéanfaidh íomhánna a theilgeadh ar bhallaí ag suíomhanna a bhfuil baint acu le scéal Cholmcille in Éirinn agus in Alban ar an 7ú Nollaig, agus tabharfar cuireadh don phobal a bheith páirteach freisin sa chomóradh trí choinneal a lasadh ag 5.21 pm ar an lá sin.   Is é Tristan Rosenstock a chuirfidh an clár i láthair.

Today on the show we commemorate St. Colmcille, who was born 1,500 years ago on the 7th of December 521.  We hear how he saved the poets of Ireland from being expelled and about the most important books attributed to him.  We’ll also hear about the illuminations project Coinneal Cholmcille, which will see images projected onto key sites along the Columban trail in Ireland and Scotland on December 7th, and how the public can join in the commemoration by lighting a candle at 5.21 pm on December 7th.  Tristan Rosenstock presents.
