The stone chapel of Glendalough Monastery, a small, austere structure with rough-hewn walls and a low ceiling. The chapel is dimly lit, with shadows dancing across the cold stone floor. The air is thick with the scent of burning wax and the faint murmur of whispered prayers.

TNGF

SELECTED

Saint Kevin

primary

An elderly man with a gaunt, ascetic face, deeply lined from years of fasting and prayer. His white hair is thin and wispy, framing a high forehead. His hands, resting on the rough woolen blanket, are gnarled with arthritis but still bear the calluses of manual labor. His pale blue eyes, though clouded with age, retain a piercing spiritual intensity.

Brother Aedan

primary

A middle-aged monk of sturdy build, with a broad forehead and deep-set, thoughtful eyes that reflect years of contemplation. His short-cropped hair is streaked with grey, and his face bears the marks of both wisdom and the harsh Irish climate. His hands, clasped in prayer, are rough from years of manual labor and copying manuscripts.

Brother Comgan

secondary

A young monk in his early twenties, slender with a pale complexion and short, unkempt brown hair. His face is smooth, save for a few sparse hairs on his chin, and his eyes are reddened from weeping. His hands, though delicate, bear the calluses of manual labor.

Brother Dermot

secondary

A middle-aged monk with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes, his wiry frame showing the effects of years of ascetic living. His hands, rough from manual labor, clutch rosary beads with white-knuckled intensity. His tonsured head is bowed low, revealing a sunburnt neck from outdoor work.

Novice Cormac

background

A slender youth of about 16 years, with a pale complexion and closely cropped brown hair in the monastic tonsure style. His large hazel eyes dart nervously between the deathbed and the chapel door, their whites visible in the flickering candlelight. His hands are rough from novice labor but still retain some youthful softness.
