ONE OF Glasgow’s oldest churches is hosting a festival of music, learning and worship to mark a milestone anniversary.
It is 1500 years since the death of St Bride of Kildare, after whom St Bride’s Church in Kelvinside is named.
The events will bring together leaders of the Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic Church at the iconic Scottish Episcopal Church as part of an initiative by St Bride’s new priest, Father Peter Bradley.
Father Bradley, who originally hails from Northern Ireland, said: “The anniversary of St Bride of Kildare’s death is a great opportunity to gather together the Christian denominations of Glasgow in a joint celebration of her life.
“It gives us not just the chance to worship together but also for all to participate in what I hope and believe will be a series of very enjoyable cultural events.”
The weekend starts with an ecumenical service on Saturday, February 8 at noon, and events include the chance to learn medieval plain chant and celebrate ancient Irish music and poetry.
Full details are available on the church’s website.
