Opis

Lantern slide depicting the entrance to the Cathedral in Clonmacnoise, Co. Offaly. Originally titled 'Clonmacnoise X Cathedral' and labelled 'K4 4'. The monument depcited in the image is of the entrance to the Cathedral, also known as Temple MacDermot. The Cathedral is the oldest church in Clonmacnoise dating back to c. 909 AD. It is thought to have been built King Flann Sinna and Abbot Coleman. The entrance is also known as the Whispering Arch and was used during confession. The architecture of the doorway allowed one to stand on one side, whisper the confession against the stone, and the monk on the other side of the doorway, and only them, would be able to hear what was said. Another supposed use for the doorway was for lepers to confess their sins without risk of infecting the priest. The doorway is in the Gothic style. The slide itself is badly damaged, almost slpit in half with a crack running from top to bottom through the image.
