Notes: Burns Library copy: card inserted: "Durning penal times, when the importation of religious articles was denied Irish Catholics, pious artisans, working with wood and their own simple tools, by stealth and at the risk of liberty or life, carved crude figures of Christ on the cross. In Irish penal crosses (1713-1781) Francis Joseph Bigger, 1909, gives some examples of those which have survived."
