The Kilcormac Pietá

There is an article in the latest number of The Carmelite Digest on one of Ireland's medieval Christian treasures, the Kilcormac Pietá. In rummaging around the web, I found this site which repeats much of the same history and includes a colour picture. Worth a read. The little statute had quite an exciting time of it during the penal times. (So what was the article doing in The "Carmelite" Digest? I hear you ask. It seems the parish of Kilcormac was attended to by Friars from the Carmelite monastery at Loughrea.)
