The Celtics, the Christians

Father O’Riely and father O’Brien

Father O’Brien.

Yes father O’Riely.

I’m reading this wonderful book about the Celtic tradition.

Did you know that it existed thousands of years before Christ!?

You don’t say father O’Riely!

But they just believe in fairies don’t they, nobody in their right mind is gonna take that too seriously?

Perhaps you should be a bit more open minded father O’Brien,

‘we’ Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead after all.

I suppose you have a reasonable point there father O’Riely.

I tink you better put that book down for now father O’Riely, we both need to get some sleep. We got to do mass in the morning remember! If we don’t get some sleep we’d both be too tired and off with the fairies in the morning.
