Eire= Ireland journey            

Friday April 19, 2019  Good Friday       

1st stop was at St Mary's Cathedral.   











What a gift to stand in awe if these magnificent Irish Cathedrals!














*****************************

Next stop Black Abbey:  

The Black Abbey of Kilkenny, Ireland, is a Catholic priory of the Dominican Order, dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity. Black Abbey was established in 1225 as one of the first houses of the Dominican Order in Ireland.






Couldn't find and "in" entrance... the outside is beautiful. 








The name Black Abbey derives from the use of the term "Black Friars" to describe members of the Dominican Order. This in turn derives from the black cappa or cloak which Dominicans wear over their white habits.

*************

Walking around lost we came up on the back side of St Mary's. 




You never drink twice from the same stream. 

Just because you wander doesn't mean you're lost.
