An illustrated talk by Archaeologist and first Curator of Fermanagh County Museum, Helen Lanigan Wood, as part of the Lough Erne Pilgrim Way programme.
In her talk, Helen explores the transition from paganism to Christianity. She discusses new evidence for dating the double figure on Boa Island, as well as the unique sculptural and religious quality of the White Island figures.
The talk references the guest houses run by the island monasteries for pilgrims to Lough Derg and highlights the perilous pilgrim journeys from Fermanagh to Santiago de Compostela and Rome.
The overall Lough Erne Pilgrim Way project is being delivered by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council in partnership with the Lough Erne Landscape Partnership, with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Waterways Ireland and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division.
