Parishioners at Kirk Maughold church on the Isle of Man catch up on news beneath an image of the Celtic saint who spread Christianity on the island in the Irish Sea. St. Maughold belonged to the flock of holy men, mostly from Ireland, who from the fifth through the 12th centuries A.D. sailed along the Atlantic coast to plant their faith in pagan communities. Some of the early monastic centers and churches, like Kirk Maughold, sprang up on or near ritual sites used by the pre-Christian Celts.
