Some could be described as fables or imaginative retellings of Bible stories. Others are tales inspired by modern-day Christmas consumerism. ‘Lá Breithe’ is a longer story about Jesus’ childhood. No version of this story exists in the New Testament at all, at all. This story won a prize in the spiritual writing category at the 2024 Oireachtas Literary Competitions.
