Former Archbishop of Dublin who acted as a mediator during the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the early 1170s. He died in 1180 in Normandy but his heart was returned to Dublin where it resides in Christ Church Cathedral. The reliquary was stolen in 2012 before being returned in 2018. Numerous miracles were attributed to him and he was cannonized by Pope Honorious III in 1225.

is the heart inside the rock? I’m assuming that stone is hollow inside and opens up.
The story of the theft and eventual return of the heart is interesting.
Beat me to it this time!
My brain immediately after seeing this picture:
*Well, I don’t feel better when I’m fucking around*
*And I don’t write better when I’m stuck in the ground*
Mine looks like that too. 😒
