Summary

edit
Description

Station Island, Lough Derg, Co. Donegal.

The traditional pilgrimage involved three days of fasting and two days of prayer. The central prayer of the pilgrimage was called a 'station' - prayers were said at the penitential beds, in and around the basilica, at the lake edge and at two ancient crosses. The island's penitential beds are the circular remains of monks' cells about a metre high with an entrance and a cross in the centre. This station is St. Patrick's Cross. The stone shaft in which the cross is set dates back to the Middle Ages and is a relic of monastic times on the island.

Date: Circa 1890
