EDITORS COMMENTS
Arboe Cross, E Face, Co Tyrone: A Timeless Symbol of Irish Heritage Nestled in the picturesque countryside of County Tyrone in Northern Ireland stands the ancient Arboe Cross, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, captures the E face of the cross with a man added for scale. The Arboe Cross, also known as Ardboe Cross, is a magnificent standing cross that dates back to the early Christian period. Its intricate carvings and ornate design reflect the artistic and spiritual traditions of the time. The cross is believed to have been erected between the 9th and 11th centuries, making it an invaluable piece of Ireland's ancient past. The E face of the cross, depicted in this photograph, is adorned with intricate carvings of the Evangelists - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each figure is shown holding a symbol associated with their Gospel - a winged man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle, respectively. These symbols served as a reminder of the teachings of the Evangelists and the importance of the Christian faith in the lives of the people who lived in this region centuries ago. The addition of the man to the right of the cross in this photograph provides a sense of scale and context, allowing us to appreciate the true size and grandeur of this historic monument. The peaceful, rural setting further emphasizes the connection between the people and their past, as well as the enduring beauty of the Irish countryside.
