[edit] Some History
“ |
After an absence of centuries a relic of the true cross returned to Holycross Abbey in 1975 when this fine Cistercian Abbey, on the instigation of the late archbishop of Cashel Dr. Thomas Morris was restored and opened its doors once again to thousands of pilgrims and visitors from all over the world. The newly developed Padre Pio meditation garden on the west bank of the River Suir has a special pilgrimage day each May. |
