Mellifont Abbey

The first Cistercian monastery in Ireland founded in 1142 by St Malachy of Armagh, its most unusual feature is the octagonal Lavabo c. 1200. The Visitor Centre houses an interesting exhibition on the work of masons in the Middle Ages with fine examples of their craft on display.

Ireland, which I have longed for but have no chance to set foot in, is a country that plays an idyllic pastoral song, and the endless meadows seem to connect to the end of the world, and the blue ocean joins the sky in the distance. This casual look can be intoxicated, casual shot is the medieval blockbuster country, I can finally set foot on your land as I wish! There are more or less monasteries in many countries and regions of the world, but the guide told us that the monasteries in Ireland are the earliest of them. Because Ireland was more developed than other countries in the early Middle Ages, Christians in Ireland tended to seek spiritual enrichment in the wilderness. Thus, Irish monasteries were built in isolated and isolated areas. I think it is also very good, we have lived in modern society for too long, we have been a little numb to ourselves, to the abbey to walk around, can let us seriously examine our own heart, see what it wants, what it needs. Have a deep and sincere dialogue with your own soul to seek peace in the inner world. This is the way the monastery helped us. It is recommended that Ireland have suddenly rained heavily recently, and it is recommended to prepare an umbrella when traveling.
