From Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks

“The Celtic imagination is aware of the brokenness of the human heart. The Irish high crosses often reveal an image of Adam and Eve, sharing the apple in the Garden of Eden, while also showing St. Anthony and St. Paul sharing a loaf of bread in the Egyptian desert, holding the stories of fallenness and reconciliation together.”
