Description The historic ruins of Monasterboice are of an early Christian settlement in County Louth in Ireland. Founded in the late 5th century by Saint Buithe it was an important centre of religion and learning until the founding of nearby Mellifont Abbey in 1142. This site houses two churches built in the 14th century or later and an earlier round tower, but it is most famous for its 10th century high crosses as depicted here. The broad sides of the cross have individual panels with biblical scenes while the narrow edges are decorated with interlace and ornamental design. The west face has an unusual depiction of the crucifixion carved with Christ's head at a sideways angle as if dead and wearing oddly flowing garments. Bound feet are clearly shown as are nail holes in his hands and feet. In the center of the east face is a highly unusual depiction of Christ In Glory. (Wikipedia)
