This index helps you go straight to the ones with recorded recitations.

Thanks so much for the pointer. This is beautiful beyond my ability to describe! Love the recitation window as well!

Paddy's Day. No one (least of all in Ireland) calls it Patty's Day. Unless you're a dumb Yank...

Tom: I did see it referred to as St Patty's Day once -- on a fake signboard outside a synagogue in a Conan O'Brien skit a few years ago. Ah, those were the days...

This one was beautiful to hear and wrenching to read. What a lovely site.

Fantastic, plep. The way the site combines audio with fleeting Gaelic phrases and translations is marvelous. Wish it had the option of enlarging images like this, though.
