EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning postcard, dated 1905, showcases the South View of St. Mary's Dominican Convent located in Cabra, an inner suburb on the northside of Dublin, Republic of Ireland. The convent, founded in 1855 by the Dominican Sisters, is a significant landmark in the area and is steeped in history and tradition. The image captures the convent's elegant and imposing architecture, with its red-brick facade and tall, arched windows. The convent's grounds are lush and green, with trees and shrubs providing a beautiful contrast to the stone buildings. The convent's bell tower, visible in the background, is a prominent feature and can be seen from various points around Cabra. St. Mary's Dominican Convent was an important center of Catholic education and spiritual life in Dublin during the early 1900s. The convent school, which was attached to the convent, provided education to young girls from the local community and beyond. The sisters were known for their dedication and commitment to their students, and many went on to achieve great things in their personal and professional lives. The convent was also a place of worship and reflection, with daily Mass and other religious services held in the convent chapel. The sisters lived simple and devout lives, dedicating themselves to prayer, study, and service to others. This postcard, taken by Grenville Collins in 1905, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a glimpse of life in Dublin over a century ago. The South View of St. Mary's Dominican Convent in Cabra is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Ireland and the important role that religious institutions played in shaping the lives of its people.
