Lockdown in Ireland

 I am not sure exactly when this photograph was taken, but it was during a period of lockdown in Ireland.


It shows a priest offering Mass at an old (possibly reconstructed) rock altar, somewhere on Achill Island.  You can tell that he is a traditionally minded priest by the way that he his forefingers and thumbs.  Not surprisingly, he is a young priest  -  one of very few in Ireland.  The position of the missal would indicate that it is a Novus Ordo Mass.

It is good to see that he has an attentive congregation of sheep!
