So this last Friday we went to a place called Clonmacnoise it was a Abby that is now in ruins and is a cemetery. This Abby and chapel was rebuilt many times. It is right on the river Shannon and in the middle of Ireland. They said that the location is why they built here. Because they would have many travelers come through so they would be able to spread the Gospel.
Here is Megan, Arlyn, me Jen, Amber and Ed in a church window!
Jen and I touching the top of the tower!
This is the confession door. When the people were sick or needed to confess a sin they were not able to go into the church so they would have to stay at the door. Now if you stand in one corner in a small part of the arch(like the left side) then had a person like a priest on the other side of the door (like the right side) you could wisper your sins and they could talk to you about it with out any one else hearing!! It was so cool we did it! It really worked!
Here is a headstone that I thought was interesting because it had the whole families story on it. Like children and everything. Then I noticed that all of them are like this!
Some of the graves!
