Ballintubber Abbey Mayo; King Cathal Crobdearg Ua Conchobair - Amazing Irish Abbey-Ballintubber
Ballintubber Abbey is an abbey two kilometres northeast of the village of Ballintubber, County Mayo in Ireland that was founded by King Cathal Crobdearg Ua Conchobair in 1216.
King Cathal Crovdearg O’Conor who founded the Ballintubber Abbey was of the royal race of the O'Conners, King of Connacht and notable patrons of the arts. According to the local folklore, Cathal was working in Ballintubber for a man named Sheridan during his time, who - also according to legends - was treating him with great kindness and respect. For that much kindness Cathal received from that man, he wanted to pay him back and thus decided to build a new church instead of repairing the old one - which was the only wish and request that old man asked for later when Cathal visited him after taking his father's place, which is how Ballintubber Abbey came to life.
Among the old stories related to the building of this beautiful abbey, was that it was built in the wrong place when Cathal gave his orders; it was built in Baile tobair Bhrighde, Roscommon instead of Baile tobair Phádraig, Mayo and thus he asked that the right one should be built seven times more significant than the other, which was eventually done.
While it was damaged during penal times - it was still used and was restored in 1966 with more work completed in 1997. It celebrated 800 years in existence in 2016.
The abbey has many attractions and holy stations outside in the grounds of the Abbey.
The abbey marks the beginning of Tochar Phádraig, the ancient pilgrimage route to Croagh Patrick, long defunct but now reopened as a cross-country pilgrimage and tourist trail.
In addition to serving as a Parish church and the Mass that is held there every single day, Ballintubber Abbey also hears the echo of joys of many marriages that are held there as well as some of the other sacraments that are celebrated there every single year. More recently it is famous for who gets married in the abbey - The James Bond star Pierce Brosnan married former TV journalist Keely Shaye Smith at Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo.
There are a lot of beautiful things and stories about Ballintubber Abbey that made us believe that this is definitely a place tourists should head for when it comes to County Mayo in Ireland and somewhere that even Irish people should know more about. One of these different stories and information facts which we managed to find is the fact that the Mass has been said in the Abbey without a break since the year of its foundation in 1612; for 236 years, the people were attending the Mass in the unroofed Abbey exposed to the cold, the wind, and the rain which proved that the Irish people struggled to keep the faith in spite of dungeons.
The church island, which is known as Oilean na Scríne - Shrine Island lies at the north west of Lough Carra. According to some legends, there are kings buried there - most probably the kings of partree, which is one of the ancient kingdoms of Ireland.
Apart from the history of the place and the weddings that might take place there, it is important to mention that heading there and bringing this video was mostly for bringing people to go and visit this church and enjoy a different kind of tour inside. The tour inside this place includes the ruined Cloister, the pristine interior of the restored Church, the story of the Abbey that refused to die, and the history of the people who were related to the place as a whole. There is a visitors' book which you will receive and you might even assign a tour guide throughout your tour who will help in telling the story in a more detailed manner.
For those who are willing to visit Ballintubber Abbey, the opening hours are from 9 AM to 12 midnight all year long and the guided tours are available from 9:30 AM to 5 PM from Monday to Friday and the weekend goes only by arrangement. The Celtic Furrow opens July and August from 10 AM till 5 PM - the Celtic Furrow is a unique visiting centre that traces back the cultural, historical, and spiritual roots in Ireland over 5,000 years.
