Ag Criost an Siol

Brought to you by www.lookaroundi... Christianity has played a major part in the history of Ireland. This song in Gaelic is sung by Michael Londra, with images of Christian places in Ireland. The song title translated is Christ is the Seed.

Just so beautiful, makes me sad and happy at the same time, wonderful.

[@08pcooper]

I've been listening to a lot of vids of Ag Criost an Shiol, and this is my absolute favorite! Simply beautiful.

[@DidYaServe]

This is the most authentic version of Críost an Síol on KZbin. I feel it's best sang by a solitary male voice in a location with echo using minimal instrumentation like it does here.

[@finnhere2]

I agree that this music is truly for everyone, but I have to say that if there's one way you Irish have conquered the world, it's by your music...

[@stendec73]

Wow thats the first time Ive heard that that and its like a breath of fresh air.

[@xthao1401]

This song gave me wonderful chills. I close my eyes and I can see across the pond to years gone by. I think I'm born into the wrong time and culture, but this music really captured my heart. Thank you for posting it.

My mom was from Newcastle CountyDown she met my dad in Scotland in 1939 he was from the Canadain army and she was a nurse in the British Amry they fought tooth and nail to remain together and they did. Dad pass 20 ago, mom 5 years ago. Mom said my love cannot be replaced. She was my mom when I held her and gave her last kiss on her cold lips. Forever remember you mom your son Glenn.gsb ( an irsh tradtion)

Foil arms and hog

[@SymphonicDevourer]

@Hiberniensis I live in Washington state, and I agree about the beauty of a land of soft grey clouds and gentle rain. I hope to visit Ireland someday, and feel right at home. :)

[@cginnell]

Lovely song....was played at my Grannys funeral a year and a half ago. So it has brought back all the memories :((((

Gaelic: Ag Críost an síol, ag Críost an fómhar; i n-iothlainn Dé go dtugtar sinn. Ag Críost an mhuir, ag Críost an t-iasc; i líonta Dé go gcastar sinn. Ó fhás go h-aois, is ó aois go bás, do dhá láimh, a Chríost, anall tharainn. Ó bhás go críoch, ní críoch ach athfhás, i bParthas na ngrás go rabhaimid. English translation Christ's is the seed, Christ's is the crop, in the barn of God may we be brought. Christ's is the sea, Christ's is the fish, in the nets of God may we be caught. From growth to age, from age to death, Thy two arms, O Christ, about us. From death to end, not end but growth, in blessed Paradise may we be

[@amjanwaters6142]

Sorry, is this irish languange? ( curious)

[@MsArethusa]

@@amjanwaters6142 Yes, this is Irish, An Teanga Gaeilge.

[@wieszuidema4550]

So wonderful, the song and the singer !!

[@rebekahjanetaylor]

have been singing various versions of this at choir practice, not understanding a bloody word, get it now, the harmonies are fab, any one of you people out there, join a choir

[@alexidgboy2008]

This is such a beautiful version of this song... made me choke up just a little, and especially today being St, Patrick's Day...

[@Martina-Kosicanka]

Foil, Arms and Hog brought me here

[@mariamckenna8792]

Really beautiful version of a special song, thank you very much.

[@aislan50]

wow wow wow, pure haunting voice 10/10

[@davidmerrigan3516]

Takes me back to my choir days with Father Morris of St Michaels Church in Tipperary Town. Simpler times for sure.

[@bbmtge]

What an outstanding post. You are touching my Irish blood. I assume that is a pipe organ playing monotone in the background. Thank you!

[@finnhere2]

A lovely performance of this wonderful piece of music, so touching in its simplicity. And once again - I envy you Irish for your music. Oh, and the video is absolutely great :)

[@muyderecho]

Es una hermosa canción, gracias por compartirla

[@Deliquescentinsight]

I think it has to do with the Celtic soul, it speaks to the most human parts of us-a powerful, heart-based culture that forms the distant foundations of the West-this is real stuff.

[@tomasofaolain3117]

Excellent great version

[@canadianceltic]

My mom may go bless you go on to to your next live with out hurt, love will be be cornerstone of your hearth. May your castles never end. My tears fill your dreams. I miiss you Your son GSB.

[@3kitty3]

Very very nice! I LOVE the song!

[@DollyzDaggerz]

so very sad ; such beauty to someday be lost forever

Celtic Christianity, as I understand it, held to its roots for a long time even after Rome Schismed in 1054. The spirit of Celtic Christianity, which has a profound respect for creation and recognizes its sanctity, is very 'Orthodox'. Because of the Celts' religious background before Christianization, I believe they grasped that concept perhaps better than any other people. For this, as an Orthodox Christian of Western decent, I'm getting acquainted with the early Celtic Saints.

[@vcatmusic]

Rome didn't schism... the East broke from the West. The Celtic Christians remained in communion with Rome and are decidedly Roman Catholic.

[@yeftaraphael7550]

It's so beautiful!

[@noradlf]

@EverythingZen14 Thank you for the lyrics

[@deirjon]

To Christ the seed, to Christ the crop, In barn of Christ may we be brought. To Christ the sea, to Christ the fish, In nets of Christ may we be caught. From growth to age, from age to death, Thy two arms here, O Christ about us. From death to end...not end but growth, In blessed paradise may we be.

[@muisire]

This is great to hear and to see and so relevant now as Catholic bishops in Ireland behave like the French squad at the World Cup. People have had enough and want bishops, like the great St Patrick, to put Christ and His people first and themselves last. The singing of this lovely folk song at Sunday Mass would help a lot to undo much of the harm already done. Go raibh míle maitrh agat! Thank you very much indeed!

[@genmckenna5823]

Just beautiful...thank you

[@livingstranger]

It's a beautiful song worshipping Christ. I don't see how any other explanation is even remotely suffice.

[@Lookaroundireland]

You are so right! But this year I think we had a bit too much rain :)

[@fionntainmacb]

Fabulous 🙂

[@FonzyWard]

Religion is political because people want to see politics. Anybody of any religion will get this song. Something else to mention is art. Sit back and listen. Guess how this style of singing has evolved. Its not difficult to grasp. The song is pure class. It is indeed Clonmacnoise with the shannon in the background.

[@celtictigress]

Beautiful!

[@Lookaroundireland]

Thank you, why not put the choir up on KZbin so we all can listen ?

[@EverythingZen14]

Lyrics: Ag Críost an mhuir Christ's is the sea Ag Críost an t-iasc Christ's is the fish i liontaibh dé In the nets of God go gcastar sinn. May we be caught.

[@Lookaroundireland]

Glad you liked it.Michael Londra has a great voice

[@anleathbrogandubh]

@irishnationalist101 your only getting back to me now? good lord!

[@dmnilsen1234]

Let's be more precise and say this video is about Catholic Ireland. Further, the comment saying the crosses are pre-Catholic must be substantiated. Even if it so, they have been adapted to express the True Religion. May God bless Ireland, and may St. Patrick continue to intercede for her!

[@diecheneydie]

Booooooooooo.

[@wgaule]

'Tis a goodly version

[@Stephen-eire]

amazing

[@EverythingZen14]

Lyrics: O fhás go haois From Birth to age is ó aois go bás and from age to death, do dhá láimh a Críost May your two arms, O Christ, anall tharainn be around us.

[@Lookaroundireland]

Yes the faith is declining and soon there will be no religion which I think will be a problem. We are becoming too materialistic and the new cathedrals are shopping centres. I am not saying you have to be one or the other religion but I do believe you need to believe in something - mine is Christianity

[@RadCelt]

Tá sé an- álainn , ach tá mé buíochas a ghabháil go bhfuil an Chríostaíocht Déithe ar an meath (English: It is very beautiful, but I thank the Gods that Christianity is on the decline)

[@kickthestar]

Religion IS political. Pretty song though.
