Soul of Ireland 2011 Calendar
The soul of Ireland is her spiritual places. The green hills are embroidered with ancient abbeys, cathedrals, monasteries, oratories, chapels, churches, round towers and Celtic crosses. Some are ruins while others are still very much a part of Irish life today. Journey with me through the Emerald Isle to visit the glorious soul of Ireland. The stunning Rock of Cashel in Co. Tipperary crowns a hill overlooking Ireland’s Golden Vale. Quin Abbey in Co. Clare is hidden in the quiet countryside watched over by a serene statue of Mary. Glendalough in Co. Wicklow has stunning mountain scenery, a round tower, churches, a cathedral and an amazing gateway - all scattered throughout the Valley of the Two Lakes. St. Finbarr’s Oratory in Gougane Barra Co. Cork is a charming little chapel on an island in a lake that is still used for weddings today. Clonmacnoise in Co. Offaly is a very important monastery that sits on the banks of the River Shannon. The Rock of Dunamase overlooks the tiny Holy Trinity Church in Co. Laois. Armoy in Co. Antrim has a lovely church, cemetery and round tower. The Romanesque ruin of Kilmalkedar on the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry reveals ancient stones, carvings and legends. Killarney’s St. Mary’s Cathedral is a graceful edifice on the edge of Killarney National Park. In the perfect market town of Hillsborough in Co. Down in Northern Ireland St. Malachy’s Church is set down a long tree-lined avenue near the fort. This calendar is perfect for anyone of Irish descent or those who love Ireland. Great for inexpensive gifts, stocking stuffers, St. Patrick’s Day or any occasion. CUSTOMIZE IT! Add your own name or text. Choose from various sizes.
