OLD CROSS FROM CARMELITE CONVENT CHURCH 1788-1975 [LOCATED IN RANELAGH GARDENS PUBLIC PARK]-158035-1
Nestled amidst the vibrant Ranelagh Gardens, an old, weathered cross stands as a silent sentinel. This relic bears witness to a time when the bustling park was a haven of solitude for the Discalced Carmelite Order of nuns. Arriving in the late 18th century, they established their convent on these grounds, the cross becoming a cornerstone of their contemplative life. Today, the cross endures, a poignant echo of devotion within the heart of Dublin.
