About the Author

Fr. Gabriel Cooper Rochelle holds an MA in Celtic Studies from University of Wales Trinity Saint David, along with MDiv, ThM, and PhD degrees. His half-century of ministry and deep interest in Celtic Christian spirituality informs every page. His expertise spans Welsh and Irish traditions, from St. Melangell and St. David to the Mabinogion and Arthurian folklore.

Michael S. Sayre, the illustrator, specializes in Orthodox iconography and Celtic art, bringing visual depth to each saint's story.

Perfect for Contemplative Practice

This devotional treasure serves readers seeking to deepen their spiritual practice through Celtic Christian wisdom. Whether used for daily meditation, pilgrimage preparation, or as a gift for spiritual seekers, A Staff to the Pilgrim provides guidance for the contemplative journey.

As poet Wally Swist writes in the foreword: "A Staff to the Pilgrim is an auspicious and true gift that combines the material and the physical with the spiritual and the transcendent. Fr. Gabriel introduces the saints to us, then graciously hands us our own staff to be pilgrims on our way."

About the Author
Rochelle, Gabriel Cooper: - Fr Gabriel Cooper Rochelle, MA, MDiv, ThM, PhD, is an Orthodox priest. A cleric for over 50 years, he enjoys birding, baking bread, bicycling, and calligraphy in his spare time. Giving readers the benefit of his half-century in ministry, he writes on many subjects. Fr Gabriel is deeply interested in Celtic Christian spirituality and has written extensively in that area. His MA in Celtic Studies from University of Wales Trinity Saint David focused on the Welsh tradition, but he also explores other areas, especially the richness of the Irish traditions. His interest spills over beyond Christianity into areas of mythology and folklore, causing him to feel as at home with the Mabinogion, the treasury of Welsh folklore, and Arthurian traditions as he is with St Melangell, St David, and St Patrick. Fr Gabriel and his wife live in Las Cruces, New Mexico.Sayre, Michael S.: - Michael S. Sayre is an artist and illustrator with particular interest in Orthodox iconography and all things Celtic.
