The Great Rood Screen
The Apostle of Ireland
Dcn. Seraphim tells us the story of Saint Patrick in his own words: a Romano-British boy is seized by Irish raiders and sold into slavery, where he discovers God on the cold hills of Ulster. After his escape, he hears the voice of the Irish calling him back to the land of his captivity. Drawing on Patrick's Confessio and Letter to Coroticus, Dcn. Seraphim explores the mystery of his return and the Trinitarian faith he planted in Irish soil.

About
The Great Rood Screen is a podcast hosted by Deacon Seraphim Richard Rohlin about the Orthodox Catholic Saints and Faith of Britain and Ireland, told as those early faithful Christians told it, with piety and reverence. Join us for a year, along with other Orthodox scholars and clergy, as we walk through the calendar of the Insular Saints day by day, story by story, and discover the great cloud of witnesses who still adorn the rood screen of history and hagiography.
