This composite image captures the magical setting at the Church of St. Brendan the Navigator in the idyllic Irish hamlet of Crookhaven at the tip of County Cork's Mizen Peninsula. I converted this image to a night scene to create the mood one might experience there with soft candlelight shining through the windows and a star-studded sky above. The Church of Ireland building was constructed in 1717, fell into ruin and was restored and reopened for worship in 1960. St. Brendan is the patron saint of sailors, and Crookhaven was a key seaport in the early days of transatlantic shipping. The church has no electricity, so its corporeal illumination comes from gas lights and candles. Each Christmas, St. Brendan's is the venue for a candlelight carol service. Artist: James A. Truett
