Ballinrobe Cross

Ballinrobe Cross.

May God in His wisdom
And infinite love,
Look down on you always
From Heaven above.
May He send you good fortune
Contentment and peace.
And may all your blessings
Forever increase.

Lilies, signifying purity of heart, grace the shaft of this lovely cross.  The Ballinrobe cross is found in County May.  Ballinrobe is near Lough Mask, a lake, which is wide enough to produce choppy waves in rough weather.  Nearby is the ruins of Inishmanina Abbey, a 13th century Augustinian house, originally founded by St. Connan in the 6th century.  Also nearby is Cong Abbey which was founded in about 1120 by Turlough O’Connor, High King of Ireland, on the site of a 6th century church associated with St. Feichin.

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.
