An ancient religious blessing of protection recorded by 300 Christian groups to protect frontline workers battling Covid-19 has been launched on social media today.
The Irish Blessing – an initiative involving religious congregations from different denominations on the island of Ireland – is a recorded version of 'Be Thou My Vision'.
It is a collaborative effort between various Christian communities. The ancient prayer of protection can be traced back to Christian Ireland over 1000 years ago.
It is being shared on social media and on YouTube by the organisers. The Irish Blessing initiative is part of an international Christian movement where churches come together to bless frontline workers dealing with the coronavirus.
