Influence in today's society?
The Ancient Celtic religion is a rich part of Europe's history and its existence is still evident today through the few relics, monuments/ statues and creative artworks and songs that have been preserved since the time. As the Celts were spread all across Europe, many countries still acknowledge their past history. Scotland, for example, has a football team based in Glasgow called 'Celtic F.C.'. This name highlights Scotland's acknowledgment of their origins and past history. There are also other musical groups across Europe called 'Celtic Thunder' which also reflect this connection to their history.
The Celtic Religion has also influenced society, as they brought Christianity to the Anglo-Saxons. This is important as Christianity influences the way in which we ought to live our lives. The sacred texts i.e. the Bible dictates the ways in which we should live. Hence, Celtic religion is so important as it shapes our views, morals, traditions and beliefs as well as providing a line of ancestry and origin for Europeans.
