This photo, by Micháel Murphy, shows an Early Christian cross-slab on the pilgrimage island of Caher in Clew Bay. This island is reputed to have been one of the stations on the original Croagh Patrick pilgrimage. Each year, a "patron" is held on the island on the Feast of the Assumption (August 15th) which is attended by a congregation drawn from many parts of the country and from abroad, but especially from the nearby Inishturk and Clare islands. Mass is celebrated in the ruins of a medieval church and a holy-well on Caher is also visited. |
