Please visit our beautiful Crib. Take a quiet moment to pray.

A Christmas crib in any church is reminder of that wonderful event which took place in Bethlehem over two thousand years ago .Our crib has a history stretching back over one hundred years. The present position of the crib outside the sacristy door, has occupied this location for a number of years.
 
Simple in Design, the crib is made of natural greenery. The roof is made up of reeds located locally; the stones are unique limestone causations similar to those found on the Burren in Clare.
 
The figures are beautifully hand carved in minute detail and are made of Austrian Oak, and have a long history given to the Holy Cross church Tramore around 1880.
