High Crosses

High Crosses are large, ornate stone crosses from medieval Ireland and Britain, often decorated with intricate carvings depicting biblical scenes, historical events, or symbolic designs. Usually standing tall in churchyards or historical sites, they served both as religious markers and public displays of craftsmanship and storytelling. These crosses, often made from granite or sandstone, reflect the artistic and spiritual culture of their time, acting as symbols of faith and community identity while also functioning as teaching tools for those who could not read.
