Kilt Rental USA

This cross is designed to replicate the Cross of the Scriptures in Clonmacnois in County Offaly in Ireland.

It is made in the USA of a cast stone material.

This cross is designed to stand on a table. It is 11 inches long and 4.5 inches wide.

STORY:
Perhaps the most gracefully proportioned of all the Irish High Crosses, this 9th century stone cross stands 13 feet high. Monks used the interlinked panels of the scripture crosses like a picture book to teach about Christ.

The scenes may be tentatively identified as follows, from the bottom upwards;
1: Joseph (left) interprets the dream of Pharaoh's Butler.
2: Chief Butler (left) hands the drinking horn to Pharaoh.
3: Christ handing the key to Peter (right) and the book of the New Testament to Paul (left).
Center: The Last Judgment - Christ carrying the cross-staff and scepter. Good souls on left coming to Christ or heaven - bad souls on right going away from Christ to the devil.
Top: Christ in Glory accompanied by two angels.
