Cladh Bhile, III. NOTICE OF THE ANCIENT KIL OK BURYING-GROUND TERMED "CLADH BHILE," NEAR ELLARY, LOCH CAOLISPORT, SOUTH KNAPDALE. BY WILLIAM GALLOWAY, ESQ., ARCHITECT, CORK. MEM. S.A. SOOT. (PLATES II., III., IV.) In the autumn of 1875, while on a tour in Knapdale, I visited the ancient burying-ground known as " Cladh Bhile."

Scattered here and there without order of any kind, lay the incised stones to which I have this evening the honou f directino r g your attention I trus d tan ; that, althougt hno numerous, their antique character may render them not uninteresting. They are in all twelve in number, and range from the magnificent pillar stone or erect slab, No. 1, a and b, down to the half quern-stone, No. 12. None remain in situ, or erect, but they lie half-buried in the soil, or tossed about among tree-root d stonesan f irregulao s r shap varioud ean s sizes, exhibitin traco gn humaf eo n handiwork. Beyond these remnants onle th , y other indicatio f thino s place having been used for the purpose of interment is the evidence that, to a quad- rangular outline, measuring over the boundary 120 feet from east to west and 80 feet from north to south, it has been at one time enclosed on all four sides. Lik cashee e Iristh th e hf o l cemeteries, this enclosure took probably the form of a dry-stone dyke.

    PRESS RELEASE: POPE JOHN PAUL II AWARD DIOCESE OF WATERFORD AND LISMORE STUDENTS PILGRIMAGE TO ROME Last week, more than 180 young pilgrims from 11 dioceses across Ireland took part in the pilgrimage to Rome, including 15 from the Diocese of Waterford & Lismore with staff and students from Blackwater Community School in Lismore. Bishop Donal McKeown, Bishop of Derry and Patron of the Pope John Paul II Award, led the pilgrimage, joined by youth leaders and priests from the participating dioceses. During their visit, the group undertook a walking pilgrimage of the ‘seven churches of Rome’ led by Bishop McKeown as well as a night tour of the city, and visited the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museum and the Pontifical Irish College in Rome. For the feast of All Saints, Bishop McKeown celebrated Mass with the pilgrims at Saint Peter’s Basilica under the Chair of St Peter. Afterwards the pilgrims participated in a procession at the tomb of Saint John Paul II and said prayers to the Saint whom the award is dedicated to in honour of his love and vision for young people. The group later gathered at Saint Peter’s Square to pray the Angelus with Pope Francis, during which the Pope offered a special welcome to the pilgrims from Ireland. Of course being from Ireland, a singsong ensured with a great rendition of ‘Hail Glorious St Patrick’ for the Feast Day of All Saints. The day ended with a visit to the tomb of Saint Paul and evening prayer at the Cathedral of Saint Paul’s Outside the Walls.

    CHAPTER 4 DATA ANALYSIS In this subchapter, the main focus of the analysis is the symbols that divided into 10 categories. The categories are (1) Animal; (2) Beverage; (3) Colour; (4) Holy object; (5) Holy people; (6) Place/Building; (7) Plants; and (8) Sign. As mentioned in Chapter III, the writer uses the Semiotic approach, especially to analyse the symbols and to interpret the meaning found in Dan Brown‘s Origin. There are so many symbols and a sign that found in Dan Brown‘s Origin, but the researcher only uses the symbols that have more deep meaning or interpretation in order to strengthen the Catholic atmosphere. 4.1 Denotative and Connotative 4.1.1 Symbols Associated with Animals a) Spider Spider is one of the animals that most people feared. It is because of their look and the way it kills its prey. Olsen Hallberg said that the Spider is used to represent the misery, and the Devil (Hallberg, 2014). Denotatively, a spider is an eight-legged predatory arachnid and it has fangs that can inject poison into their prey and creates a web to trap and capture the prey (Cambridge University Press, 2008). Spider represents bad or negative things. Spider as a negative symbol obtained by his appearance that looked frightening. The Spider‘s cruelty when killing its prey just adding the fierce and frightening aura of the Spider. Despise all the negative 29 representation, Spider also has positive things. The Spider interpret creativity and creation. It is because it can create such a beautiful Spider web (Hallberg, 2014).

  • Power and Piety: Examining the Papal Tiara in The
    POWER AND PIETY: EXAMINING THE PAPAL TIARA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MODERN CHURCH By Manon Wogahn A senior thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Bachelor of Arts in Art History CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY Orange, California May 2018 1 The papal tiara has been a symbol of the papacy since its first appearance around the eighth century. The exact symbolism of the three-tiered crown is unknown; a popular interpretation is that it represents the three divisions of the Christian Church: the Church Militant, Church Penitent, and Church Triumphant. Also called the triregnum, the tiara was last worn in public in 1963 by Pope Paul VI, who later donated his crown for charity. Since then, the last four popes, including the current Pope Francis, have received tiaras but have never worn them publicly. This project analyzes the rejection of the papal tiara and of the coronation ceremony as a symbol of the changing values of the modern papacy relationship between the disappearance of the papal tiara and the changing values of the modern papacy after the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). By examining the history of Paul VI’s crown within the context of a centuries-old tradition, I show how the papal tiara has been transformed from a symbol of the pope’s temporal power into a representation of material wealth that has become incompatible with the image of modest piety promoted by the contemporary papacy. In the 2016 drama television series The Young Pope, the fictional American pontiff Pius XIII causes shock and unrest within the Vatican with his controversial conservative philosophies and rejection of his predecessor’s liberality.
