A small sandstone crucifixion slab stands in a County Louth graveyard, its entire surface carved with the suffering of Christ. The stone measures barely more than half a metre across, yet it carries the weight of every prayer spoken before it. People may have knelt beside it during storms or quiet mornings, seeking mercy through the brutal clarity of the carving.
