Killea, County Donegal, Ireland

This giant 100 meter long cross is now known as the “Emery Celtic Cross” which is proudly named after its creator Liam Emery. Intelligently he planted 2 different species of pine trees in the shape of this giant celtic cross design 10 years ago in these woods of Donegal. The reason being that the outer trees are evergreen and don’t drop their needles during Autumn but the trees used for the actual cross design are not evergreen & turn this golden colour right before they drop their needles for the cold seasons ahead

After a decade of secretly growing all the same colour, it was only last fall that these trees have matured enough to shed their needles & this hidden wonder became visible for the first time ever. The Emery Celtic Cross was first spotted last year by passenger plane pilots & some passengers believed it to be an actual miracle! Unfortunately Mr Liam Emery passed away 6 years ago and never got to witness his stunning creation grow, but im sure he is now smiling from ear to ear with pride when he stares down from heaven at his now miracle famous “Emery Celtic Cross”

We thank you for this lasting Legacy Liam, you have certainly helped God put a stamp on Ireland
