CELTIC CROSSES DOMINATE THE CEMETERY 07/07/2025
Glasnevin Cemetery is renowned for its striking number of large Celtic Crosses, which powerfully embody a fusion of historical, cultural, and economic factors. The very establishment of Glasnevin as Ireland's pioneering non-denominational national burial ground — a direct affront to the oppressive Penal Laws — set the stage. This foundational status naturally positioned it as a central canvas for the expression of a nascent Irish identity.
