EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph presents a breathtaking view of the ancient Celtic Cross on Mahee Island, located in the County Down region of Northern Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this enchanting island. The Celtic Cross, a symbol deeply rooted in the history of Ireland, is an intricately designed stone monument that embodies the fusion of early Christian and Celtic influences. The cross, which was excavated in 1922, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery and clear blue skies, evoking a sense of tranquility and mystery. Mahee Island, situated in the Carlingford Lough, is a hidden gem that has long been a source of fascination for historians, archaeologists, and visitors alike. The island's rich history can be traced back to the Neolithic period, with evidence of human habitation dating back over 6,000 years. The presence of the Celtic Cross is a testament to the island's significant role in the early Christian era. As you gaze upon this image, allow yourself to be transported back in time, to a place where history, culture, and natural beauty converge. The Celtic Cross on Mahee Island is not only a symbol of the past but also a reminder of the enduring connection between the people of Northern Ireland and their ancient heritage.
