EDITORS COMMENTS
Teach-An-Alais, or the Sweat House, on Inishmurray Island, County Sligo, Republic of Ireland, is a fascinating glimpse into the past of this historic island community. Dating back to the early 1900s, this stone building stands as a testament to the unique cultural traditions that once thrived on Inishmurray. The Teach-An-Alais, or Sweat House, was a traditional Irish sauna used for both therapeutic and social purposes. The building was constructed from local stone and featured a central fire pit surrounded by benches where people would sit and steam themselves, often using buckets of water to pour over the hot stones to create steam. The print offers a captivating view of the Teach-An-Alais, with its rough-hewn stones and moss-covered roof, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sounds, smells, and sensations of this ancient ritual. Inishmurray Island, located off the west coast of County Sligo, has a rich history dating back to the early Christian period. The island was once home to a monastic settlement and is believed to have been a place of pilgrimage. Today, it is a popular destination for visitors seeking to explore its ancient ruins, including the Teach-An-Alais. This print is an invaluable record of a bygone era and offers a unique insight into the traditions and way of life of the people of Inishmurray Island. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the value of the past in shaping our present and future.
