In Search of St Serf
In Pre-Reformation Scotland, July 1st was the Feast of St Serf - The great Scottish Saint know as Apostle of the Ochils. We were fortunate to be allowed rare access to St Serf’s Hermitage caves on the private grounds of the Carmelite Convent of Dysart. The sisters told us all about the wonderful ancient history of the site from Pagan times, to St Serf and the Culdees to the Reformation and eventual return of the Religious orders to the site. Each July 1st these caves would be the centre of much celebration and pageantry and Mass would be said. Here is a little about the life and legend of St Serf!

That was cool to learn about Serf and this chapter of Scottish history. Living near so many St Serf sites I’ve always wonder who this guy was and what was his deal, and now I know. Thank you 🙏

Don't forget Saint mungo brought back to life the Robin of Saint serf. This happened in a sacred place that was dedicated to Saint maelok or maelog who was the son of King caddow of Strathclyde, saint Gildas and Saint Michael were the brothers of maelok. The monestry of Saint maelok was called cambusmaelok which became camelok then camelot.

Love the honesty. All built on pagan sites. I think it sad how the Church divorced itself from its Jewish roots and later embraced pagan traditions , making them "Christian."

[@SanctaFamiliaMedia]

The Church has never divorced herself from Jewish roots. The Church is the succession of the Old Testament. The early Church fathers accepted Gentiles such as pagans to become Christians. Their former places of false worship would no longer be needed and as such were easily adapted for the use of Christ.

[@ewankerr3011]

The "Church" was the people and they met in homes, including the homes of gentile converts.

[@anand1988ism]

@@ewankerr3011 They met in homes because of persecutions but in countries like Ethiopia they have built Churches

[@ewankerr3011]

In the New Testament, where did the Christians meet? In private homes. The Church was the people, not the building.

[@bricktop7803]

But these Jewish roots are descended from paganism and an aberration of Sun god Ra.
