The Cambrai Homily is the earliest known Irish homily, dating to the 7th or early 8th century, and housed in the Médiathèque d'agglomération de Cambrai. It is evidence that a written vernacular encouraged by the Church had already been established alongside Latin by the 7th century in Ireland. The homily is also the oldest single example of an extended prose passage in Old Irish. The text is incomplete, and Latin and Irish are mixed. Quotations from the Bible and patristic sources are in Latin, with the explication in Irish. It is a significant document for the study of Celtic linguistics and for understanding sermons as they might have existed in the 7th-century Irish church. The homily also contains the earliest examples in written Irish of triads, a form of expression characteristic of

L'Homélie de Cambrai est la plus ancienne homélie irlandaise connue, datant du VIIe ou du début du VIIIe siècle. Elle s'intéresse à la question de la pénitence et du martyre. Elle propose une classification du martyre en trois catégories correspondant chacune à une couleur : le martyre rouge, c'est-à-dire la mort violente ; le martyre blanc, c'est-à-dire l'ascétisme strict ; et le martyre glas, terme ambigu pouvant signifier « bleu » ou « vert », qui comprend jeûne et travail.

It is a significant document for the study of Celtic linguistics and for understanding sermons as they might have existed in the 7th-century Irish church. The homily also contains the earliest examples in written Irish of triads, a form of expression characteristic of early Irish literature, though the text taken as a whole is not composed in triads. The homily expounds on Matthew 16:24 with a selection from the Homilia in Evangelia by Pope Gregory I, and an explanation of the three degrees of martyrdom, designated by the colors red, blue (or green, Irish glas), and white.

L'Homélie de Cambrai est la plus ancienne homélie irlandaise connue, datant du VIIe ou du début du VIIIe siècle. Elle s'intéresse à la question de la pénitence et du martyre. Elle propose une classification du martyre en trois catégories correspondant chacune à une couleur : le martyre rouge, c'est-à-dire la mort violente ; le martyre blanc, c'est-à-dire l'ascétisme strict ; et le martyre glas, terme ambigu pouvant signifier « bleu » ou « vert », qui comprend jeûne et travail. Ce document, important dans l'étude des langues celtiques, témoigne de l'existence d'une tradition littéraire en langue vernaculaire encouragée par l'Église à côté de celle en latin. Le texte de l'Homélie, qui mêle latin (pour les citations de la Bible et des Pères de l'Église) et vieil irlandais (pour leur explication), est incomplet. Il s'agit d'une copie, réalisée entre 763 et 790 par un scribe carolingien au service de l'évêque . Il est conservé à la bibliothèque municipale de Cambrai (MS. 679, fos. 37rb-38rb).
