The Shrine.
One of a number of votive candle shrines in St Michaels Church
In Dun Laogahire. The shrine in general in a church is dedicated
to a specific saint or deity. They are usually positioned around
the walls of the aisles of a church, with less frequently being
placed in the transepts. Here in Dun Laoghaire as there is not
the usual cruciform shape to the church the shrines are mainly
placed along the walls either side of the altar.
