Description
Foilsíodh leaganacha d’fhormhór na scéalta seo i gcolún an údair ‘Crobhingne’ san Irish Times aimsir na Nollag le fiche bliain anuas.
Is geall le fabhalscéalta nó athinsintí samhlaíocha iad ar a bhfuil sa Bhíobla, nó neachtar acu, eachtraí atá bunaithe ar thomhaltachas Nollaig na linne seo.
Scéal níos faide is ea ‘Lá Breithe’ ar óige Íosa nach bhfuil aon leagan de le fáil sa Tiomna Nua in aon chor, in aon chor. Bhuaigh an scéal seo duais do shaothar spioradáltachta ag Comórtais Liteartha an Oireachtais 2024.
Versions of most of these stories were previously published in the author’s column ‘Crobhingne’ in The Irish Times at Christmastime over the past twenty years.
Some could be described as fables or imaginative retellings of Bible stories. Others are tales inspired by modern-day Christmas consumerism.
‘Lá Breithe’ is a longer story about Jesus’ childhood. No version of this story exists in the New Testament at all, at all. This story won a prize in the spiritual writing category at the 2024 Oireachtas Literary Competitions.
