Intro music is by permission from Jory Nash https://www.jorynash.com/ Dennis Cullen is recognised as one of Ireland’s finest folk sculptors. There are 105 known Cullen headstones, most dating from 1765 to 1785, many in Glendalough, and most depicting passion scenes. He was born in Monaseed and his carving technique was accomplished. He often signed his work, unusual for the day.  Cullen executed his work in delicate and accurate detail. Christ on the cross is flanked by the Virgin with a crown and beads and St John with a bible. Cullen’s habit was to carve figures in the costume of the 18th century. The Virgin’s flowing hair is, in fact, a long lace veil – common mourning dress of the time.  Several of the headstones feature a sunburst as well as sun, star and moon motifs. Powerful symbols of the soul and of immortality, as well as rebirth, these motifs were very popular in the eighteenth century. The IHS symbol (explained in Memento Mori) usually adorned the top of the headstone. The symbols used were the hammer, pincers, three nails, crown of thorns, two dice, box for the dice, and 30 pieces of silver. Some also have a ladder, spear, the moon and sun, and four different trees to show the different timbers used in the Cross. *The dice 4 plus 5 make 9 representing the fact that Jesus died on the 9th hour on the cross. this is a file you can download about Dennis Cullen https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc... #history #death #cemetery #graveyard #1700s #denniscullen #stonemasonry
