Cross of the Scriptures
The Cross of the Scriptures presents a gallery of images, like icons, that reach out to embrace us. Searching the mind of the sculptor is exciting and rewarding.
 The Fathers right hand is hidden under the arm of the cross. There is a hidden graciousness of God in dew and snowdrop and especially in the face of Jesus Christ. |
 We see Moses praying. |
 God the Father holds the cross in the Last Judgement and Michael Archangel trumpets joy. |
 Evil is being repelled. |
 Christ gives the keys to Peter and the book of Love to Paul. |
 St. Ciaran and King Dermot are working together. |

Left: In the Cross of the Scriptures there is a wedding of the spiritual and the secular. All of life is within the Cross. Earthiness, our flesh and blood are tabernacles of the Spirit.
Right: May viewing and reviewing this wonder exhibition in stone, inspire us with the Spirit of the Unseen Sculptor.
