"Muckross Abbey - Tree of Life"
The Franciscan friary of Irrelagh, known as "Muckross Abbey" was founded for the Observatine Franciscans about 1448, by Daniel McCarthy Mor. The friars remained in occupation at Muckross at least intermittently and despite the dissolution of the monasteries until Cromwellian times. The present well-preserved ruins include a church with a wide, square tower and fine windows, and a vaulted cloister with an arcade of arches around a square courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard grows an ancient yew tree, said traditionally to be as old as the Abbey. . Matt Anderson

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Muckross Abbey - Tree of Life" transports us to the enchanting ruins of Muckross Abbey, also known as the Franciscan friary of Irrelagh. Founded in 1448 by Daniel McCarthy Mor, this abbey holds a rich history and spiritual significance that has withstood the test of time. The well-preserved remnants showcased in the photograph include a magnificent church adorned with intricate windows and a sturdy square tower. The vaulted cloister surrounding a serene courtyard adds an air of tranquility to this ancient site. Standing tall amidst it all is an awe-inspiring yew tree, believed to be as old as the abbey itself. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining the lives lived within these walls and courtyards. The vibrant greenery that now engulfs parts of the structure serves as a reminder of nature's resilience and its ability to reclaim what was once man-made. With its arches, towers, and religious symbolism scattered throughout, Muckross Abbey stands not only as an architectural marvel but also as a testament to Ireland's deep-rooted spirituality. This print captures both the grandeur and serenity found within these historic ruins. Photographer Matt Anderson skillfully brings out every detail through his lens – from the playfulness of sunlight filtering through clouds above to each blade of grass below. It is truly an idyllic scene that invites us into Ireland's past while reminding us of nature's enduring beauty.
