  • Abbey of the Holy Cross the Holy Well
    Abbey of the Holy Cross The Holy Cross Abbey, now a ruin, is located beside a car park in Cahersiveen, near Marian Place. An interesting fact about the Abbey is that the church does not have any steeple. This is not a church of traditional design, as there is no steeple present, due to the laws prevailing in the Penal Times., The old Penal church is located directly south of the Abbey. Between 1695 and 1829 the Penal Laws were in force in Ireland which aimed at bolstering the position of the Protestant ruling class and restricting the religious practices of Roman Catholic. One of these laws prohibited any Catholic Church to have a steeple or bell. The old Penal church is located directly south of the Abbey. The parents of the famous Irish Politician Daniel O’Connell are buried in the graveyard which surrounds this. church The Holy Well Cahersiveen Water was and still is a vital necessity for all human beings. In many parts of the world, the veneration of water was an ancient tradition. It was widely believed in Ireland, from early Medieval times down to our times, that there was a sacred element as well as curative powers within the water of some wells. The water from these wells was believed to be able to cure many ailments including blindness and rheumatism. Many wells are dedicated to local saits such as St. Fursey and St. Derarca but the tradition may have originated in pre-Christian rituals. The word ‘pattern’ is derived from the word ‘patron’. The pattern involved making some religious devotions or ’rounds’ while offering some token, drinking the water and making the sign of the cross.
