Vaults And Crypts Of Muckross Abbey
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Muckross Abbey (Irish: Mainistir Locha Léin and Mainistir Mhucrois) is one of the major ecclesiastical sites, found in the Killarney National Park, County Kerry, Ireland. It was founded in 1448 as a Franciscan friary for the Observantine Franciscans by Donal McCarthy Mor.
It has had a violent history and has been damaged and reconstructed many times. The friars were often subjected to raids by marauding groups and were persecuted by Cromwellian forces under Lord Ludlow. Today the abbey is largely roofless although, apart from this, is generally quite well preserved. Its most striking feature is a central courtyard, which contains a large yew tree and is surrounded by a vaulted cloister.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, it became the burial place for prominent County Kerry poets O'Donoghue, Ó Rathaille and Ó Súilleabháin, while Piaras Feiritéar is buried in the graveyard just outside

Another epic video. You only seem to bring out the very best these days Cathal. A simply gorgeous day to show the beauty of this Abbey. Many of the headstones were very readable as if they were decades instead of hundreds years old. I will add this to my list when coming back next year. I never saw this one years ago. Thank you for taking the time to bring us all the beauty that is Ireland. 🇮🇪 Erin Go Bragh!

A superb video, one of your best. The Abby or Friary is in remarkable condition. The grave vaults and graveyard were also remarkable. Great work, thank you so very much. Your Georgia, USA friends.
Thanks Steve appreciate it 🙏
Muckross Abbey is fantastic. I have visited 3 times. The last time I visited it was dark and the atmosphere was awesome. Felt so at peace.
Beautiful Abby, the tree is stunning, magical! Would really be interested in knowing the backstory of why that tree was planted there. Imagining how many hands touched it in solemn reverence. It's a beautiful testimony of the resilience of Yew trees. If that tree could talk... 😊
TY for this amazing tour! If I was ever lucky enough to be able to visit Ireland, I would make that one of my stops!
The Abbey and whole video was fantastic.
Thanks Clifford
Stunning video. Thanks for taking us around this beautiful abbey❤

Beautiful graveyard. Poor mouse. Bless his wee soul.
I missed the live feed due to a household emergency.
Catching up just now 👍
Cheers 👍
WOW! What an interesting video this was. Muckross Abbey just, wow! You know I was thinking as you walked through the abbey, The modern buildings of today will be reduced to dust in 500 years and the Muckross Abbey will still be standing there.
Gorgeous area thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Susan
Wow the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen
What wonderful construction considering when it was built
That tree is amazing twisting up towards the light
Brilliant video ❤
You’re so lucky to have such old architecture,vaults and graves to explore,Here in Australia nothing like that,Another great vid GV 😊
I guess we are lucky. Australia has some nice cemeteries tho
Awesome tour of a magnificent old structure and graveyard! Thanks for sharing this with us! 👍🙂
Pete (in Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦)
Cheers pete 👍
I just love old abby and churches, cathedral if wall could talk
Lots of tales in them walls 😲
Interesting place for sure
Another Great Video out of the fire we got a new house closing on May 25 or earlier we bought it will be good to get our large dogs Siberian Husky and a yellow Lab and cats back we only lost one cat but she was 26 years old the two boys are doing fine
Congratulations Jamie all the best with everything ❤️
💯 Absolutely Amazing!!
❤️
thanks for the interesting video
Lugar maravilhoso, queria ir aí. 🥰🥰
Roseane it's amazing well worth a visit
Don't know why they quit using the abbey but it looks like a new roof and windows you could go back in use again. Just beautiful.
Mostly for tourists now Brenda
The Abbey is beautiful GV
It is very nice especially with the vaults and that yew tree
@@GraveVisitations especially the 500 year old yew tree, that part of the Abvey reminded me of Nevers, the place in France where St. Bernadette lays in a glass coffin!
Great video enjoyed this
Thank you so much for the tour of the Abbey and the grounds they were very beautiful. I believe that that long building part that you walked in that was dark but had windows on the side, I bet that was where they had church services for the Friars 0f the Abbey.
such a beautiful place
Stunning JJ I love it
Wonderful thank you. And the name "Sugrue (/ʃəˈɡruː/) is an anglicized form of the Irish Language surname Ó Siocfhradha, meaning "descendant of Siocfhradh", or Ó Siochrú the modern Gaelic equivalent of Ó Seochrú, which in turn is a Gaelic version of the old norse German given first name Siegfried, meaning "victory and peace"."
Beautiful place! Wow!!!
I remember that movie, Darby
Great movie 🇮🇪
Did you and Sue notice the atmosphere of the Abbey? Even when there are a number of people there, it is quiet. Everyone speaks so softly. I just have to go back there. Cee from the little haunted cottage in ireland 💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀
Very serene and beautiful. Well worth the visit
Sorry had to run during your vid, wasn't feeling really well and then I had work. Love that tree and place.
No problem glad you enjoyed it
A beautiful Abby and a very beautiful cemetery.
Thanks for watching Judy
@@GraveVisitations I enjoy yours videos and I also enjoy Sue videos, your country and surrounding areas are very beautiful, thanks for all of the time and history, my ancestors come from Ireland and England, two places I've always wanted to visit, and now my health isn't at it's best right now, but who knows maybe one day I will get the chance, my families names are Tingle and Murphy, have a blessed evening and thank you for commenting back.
@@JudyTaylor-wj6vc lots of murphy's here in wexford 🇮🇪 I hope you can make the trip 👍
Wow over 500 years old 😮
Super history in this Abbey
@@GraveVisitations sounds really interesting GV cannot wait to watch it. Hope you and sue are ok 👍
Ready!!! Freddy😁✌️
👍
Hi GV just after jumping on your channel i know that place when we were down in kilarney a few months back i went to see 👀 it
Lovely place John
Sugrue is an old Gaelic surname meaning victory and peace beautiful old cemetery GV ❤
Superb - utterly amazing- I wonder if you've ever been to county Antrim. This is where my Scotch-Irish family, the Craigs who came to U.S. in 1799 lived. I'd love to know more about them.
Antrim is on my list
gorgeous abbey, and I would have sworn that 500-year-old tree was sculpted if you hadn't said it was real. Random thing, the depiction of the bird over its nest might have been a depiction of a pelican. In medieval times the pelican was thought to pierce its chest to feed its young from its blood and was used as a symbol of self-sacrifice for one's family and countrymen.
With every grave visitation there should be a prayer recitation to your hosts at the graveyard- that evens up the books since you're benefitting from the display of what was bestowed to them
Do you think I have the time to say prayers at every place in the country? I keep these people's memories circulating by saying the names out loud even after 100 years.
Believe me I don't benefit alot financially if that's what you mean
Lovely been here a few time that tree is amazing how did it grow without someone annoying it I don’t know but truly lovely indeed
Beautiful part of the country. That tree is stunning isn't it
Gah! I missed the premier! So sorry! 😔
Enjoy the video ❤️
I wonder how much extra it costs to be entombed in the old abby? Another great video, thanks!
No idea Ann would be nice tho
Iam surprised the tree didn't crush the coffins 😲
Some do
What is the difference between an abbey and a church? Very cool to see these cemeteries. Nicely done!
Abbeys are complexes with varied centers. Each center is designed for a particular purpose like grooming, living, community gathering, praying and other functions.
You will see that name in the film Darby o gill Kieron Moore took the part
That name at 15:52 is actually Sugrue. Apparently it it's quite numerous in Kerry.
Kieron Moore took the part of that name in the film Darby o gill 20:10
Interesting Mary. I remember Albert Sharpe as Darby
I was pleased to visit Muckross Abbey last May. I am very puzzled about the recent burials there. Do you have to know somebody to be buried there?
I have actually been there 😃🐨🥰
Oh cool I hope you enjoyed it 😁
