Mags GarganArchrois an Spidéil is a special commission for Cill Éinde, An Spidéal, Co. Galway, that was recently dedicated during a week of celebrations in the parish.
Designed by artist Imogen Stuart, who also designed the ambo and tabernacle for the refurbished St Mel’s Cathedral in Longford, Ardchrois an Spidéil is designed in the tradition of the Irish ‘penal’ crosses.
The week of dedication was designed to imprint Ardchrois an Spidéil on the minds and hearts of Pobal Chois Fharraige and the wider community.
Fr Seán McHugh PP said he hoped that Cill Éinde will become a place of pilgrimage for people who have particularly heavy crosses to carry.
