Faed Fiada • The Deer's Cry

Title: Faed Fiada, a St Patrick prayer
Original: 11 x 15 inches with watercolor on Arches cold press

Faed Fiada, which means The Deer’s Cry, is a portion of a longer text by St Patrick.
A Celtic style with Uncial letter forms and Celtic style knot work was designed for this piece.
Prayer was at the center of St. Patrick's life. Prayer was also his sword and shield, particularly at time of crisis. Here he calls on the Trinity to protect him against danger and to weaken the power of his enemy.
