Handcrafted Stonecast Cross Co. Offaly, Ireland This 9th century High Cross still survives at the site of Durrow Abbey, near the town of Tullamore. The Abbey, known as Field of Oaks was founded by St. Columba in 553. Though it was plundered and burned several times during the Dark Ages, the much weathered High Cross remains. The abbey was the source of the 7th century Book of Durrow which is now in the library of Trinity College in Dublin. 1.

McHarp: Crosses with Meaning
McHarp: Crosses with Meaning has a vision to create expressions honoring a heritage of spirituality, faith, and beauty. For more than 20 years, McHarp has replicated the beauty and reverence of ancient and historic memorials from around the world, as well as finding inspiration for original designs from nature and life interactions. The ancient beauty of the art which transcends time, steeped in symbolism and created for enjoyment now and a legacy for generations to come.
Most McHarp designs come from the Celtic Nations: Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man and Wales; however, inspirations of faith and beauty come from other countries including England, France, Germany, United States and even Japan. In addition to the crosses, McHarp also offers intricate décor items such as manuscript letters, plaques depicting the historical missions of San Antonio, Texas, saints, haiku, and other expressions of culture and heritage.
Jim & Kim Keeter and their children are the proud owners of McHarp. The studio is located on their family farm in Fredericksburg, TX. Production is limited, and all of their work is handmade using a limestone casting material and proprietary process.
