Description

Quinn Harp Cross.

Although very old, this cross is not one of the ancient high crosses of Ireland.  It does, however, echo the shape and design of those magnificent ancient monuments.  The Harp Cross is located among the ruins of the Quinn Friary and is approximately 11 feet high.  Quinn was founded as a Franciscan Friary in 1433.  It was built in the ruins of a much older Anglo-Norman castle.  In 1541 Henry VIII dissolved the friary in his campaign to control the wealth and power of the Church. 

Carved into the face of the cross is an Irish harp and scores of shamrocks.  Both have become famous symbols of Ireland.  The harp figures into many of the old Irish myths.  The shamrock is from a legend about St. Patrick that says he used a shamrock with its three leaves to explain the Trinity, the triple nature of God.

McHarp products are made of clay/ceramic. All McHarp artwork and crosses are hand-crafted and inspired by designs from antiquity. Each piece, based on an actual artifact or standing stone in the Celtic world, is accompanied by a tag in which the time period and culture are described.

Due to the hand casting and proprietary staining process, each of my plaques is unique. Each cross comes with a hanger embedded in the stone. The cross comes with a descriptive tag describing the original stone, explanation of the design or information on where the cross is located.
