Thanks for your observations Jim. You are welcome. Also look up our post on the Clonfert Madonna on this site which I believe you may have done already. Regards,

In my home Pilgrimage and travels to Ireland I am always amazed at how Mary has touched the lives of so many constantly influencing our life with her presence. This touching effigy surely adds foundation to the history and influence of Mary through the Irish history.
