Wrong hymn-sheet on the Rock

ON Sunday last, September 14, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, I was driving home from a holiday in West Kerry.

Wrong hymn-sheet on the Rock
Sat, 20 Sep, 2003 - 01:00

I stopped as has been my practice for several years now at the Rock of Cashel, Co Tipperary, to say a few prayers at the site of the massacre of September 13, 1647.

The Rock of Cashel is of great significance in the history of Munster, and of Ireland generally, in secular and ecclesiastical terms.
