Muiredach’s Cross is the finest of its kind, and is located in Monasterboice, Co. Louth, Ireland.  This impressive 17 ft. 8 in., 10th century monolith is remarkably well preserved, despite more that 1000 years of weathering.  It is found at Monasterboice, which was found in the 5th century by a disciple of St. Patrick called St. Buite, along with  the ruins of two churches and a Round Tower.  

The scenes are from Top to Bottom:

  1. Top:  St. Anthony and St. Paul meeting in the desert.
  2. Center:  The Last Judgment shows Christ in Glory surrounded by a crowd of resurrected souls.
  3. The devil stands on his left clutching a pitchfork, ready to chase the damned souls to Hell.
  4. Below Christ’s feet are the scales of judgment.
  5. Adoration of the Magi.
  6. Moses smites the rock to obtain water for the Israelites.
  7. David struggling with Goliath.
  8. Bottom: The Fall of Man shows Adam and Eve, and Cain slying Abel alongside.
