Ireland’s Síle na Giġ

Monasterboice

Monasterboice, Co. Louth.

 

St. Buithin’s Monastery
You have several High Crosses to choose from at this monastic site, but you will have no difficulty picking out the best one….Muiredach’s Cross

Not a sheela but enjoy the panels and try to identify Adam & Eve, Moses striking the rock, Doubting Thomas and the Flight into Egypt.

Monasterboice went into decline when the Cistercians founded Mellifont a few kilometres away.
