The tour is a unique experience to learn about Irish Graveyards. The Irish have a unique perspective on Graveyard's calling them 'Garden's of Slumber' and 'God's acre'. Your guide Sarah is a historian with a passion for telling stories who will show you two of Kilkenny's oldest and most beautiful graveyards. Hear about the people buried in each Graveyard? The layout of Graveyards and the devil's shadow, that part of the Graveyard no one wanted to be buried in. Discover Irelands burial practices from the early Christian period to World War I. Get to know the tombstone symbols and what they meant? Learn skills that will help you read any Irish Graveyard.
