In The Cathedral, over the Tabernacle, you can see a beautiful triptych depicting the Assumption. During the rigours of persecution that followed The Reformation, this triptych was thrown in the river, but, thankfully, rescued.
LARGE crowds are expected for the annual pilgrimage to Lady's Well on the outskirts of Athenry this Sunday (Aug 16).
The pilgrimage has been taking place annually for over 700 years to the holy well and shrine.
This Sunday Mass will be celebrated there at 3 pm with the parade leaving from Athenry town earlier.
Canon Tony King PP Athenry says that apart from being a great spiritual occasion the pilgrimage is also an event when people from many places meet in Athenry.
