Death is a universal teacher. It teaches everybody. That is why I am not afraid of it. I am not afraid of darkness either. When you understand what they are, they stop being monsters. They become teachers.

A large collection of cross slabs, grave slabs, decorated stones and three effigies (See KD022-029023- and KD022-029027- to KD022-029057-), dating from the 10th to the 17th centuries have been placed in St. Brigid’s Cathedral (KD022-029005-). KD022-029032-: In the S-transept. According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 3, 228), the lower half of a gently tapering, coffin-shaped slab (L 0.77m; Wth 0.31-0.39m; T 0.18m) bears the narrow shaft of a cross in false relief. There are worn, incised Lombardic letters on each side of the shaft: ‘PPC/ ORATE P .. LOD O’. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 30 January 2012

This cross-slab likely dates to the medieval period, between the 10th and 17th centuries, and was probably used as a funerary or commemorative monument, reflecting Christian traditions associated with St. Brigid. Its placement among other decorated stones and effigies suggests a sacred or ecclesiastical function within a local cemetery or churchyard.
