One of the massive high crosses at Monasterboice, outside Drogheda. These things are truly massive, at least 5m high and carved on every inch with stories from the bible. Before the peasantry could read or write, the priests would explain the stories of the bible using the carvings depicting the various scenes.
Dont ask me what these represent, but there are explanations on the web
