  This cross is a reproduction in silver of a cross carved into an ancient stone found in the oratory graveyard at Kilcananagh, Inis Meain,  the middle of the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland. 
  The oratory is a simple masonry church (quite small) built before 1200 AD. Several of the crosses found here combine the symbols of the Virgin Mary (the star and crescent moon) with a traditional cross.
    The churchyard also contains a large round stone with a central hole, of interest because it was believed to be a healing stone and that to look through the hole was to see eternity.
