“Peace”
This cross comes from the heart of Ireland and the town of Ballina,
where the Shannon River leaves Lough Derg and rushes
toward the city of Limerick and the sea.
The descending dove is a reference to the Bible verse, Mark 1:10,
“And when Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens
split open and the Holy Spirit descending like a dove on him.”
