📖 Ancient Restoration The Scripture Cross at Clonmacnoise, County Offaly. Founded as a monastic settlement by St Ciarán mid-6th century, it's one of the oldest Christian sites in Ireland.
One day the monks of Clonmacnoise saw a ship sailing over them in church. An anchor dropped, and a man 'swam' down to free it. When the monks caught him, he cried, "Stop for you are drowning me!" They let him go and the flying ship sailed on.
