A stunning video showcasing Killarney s fascinating history, lore and legend has been produced as part of this year s unique virtual St Patrick s Festival in the town.
Chronicling the monasticism and ecclesiastical heritage of the town and its surroundings, from the arrival of the monks on Innisfallen Island to the building of the landmark St Mary s Cathedral, the production will be beamed into homes all over the world as Killarney marks the national feast day in a very special way.
In the absence of the colourful parade and street celebrations that have traditionally made Killarney a must-visit town on March 17, the St Patrick s Festival Committee has opted for a virtual celebration to allow people everywhere to celebrate the town, its history and its people.
Church of Ireland Christmas services in Killarney will be online.
Rector of Killarney, the Venerable Simon J Lumby, says the risks associated with holding public services are too great during the festive period.
Yesterday, with the imposition of new restrictions, it was announced Christmas religious services may take place, but will move online after December 25th.
Places of worship may remain open for private prayer.
The Venerable Simon J Lumby says the risks are too great to continue with Christmas services as scheduled in St Mary’s (Church of Ireland) Killarney.
He’s cancelled the public services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, however, a service will be live-streamed on YouTube in lieu of public worship.
