Edificada a partir de 1705, a Igreja do Senhor Bom Jesus da Cruz, em Barcelos, assinala o local do "Milagre da Cruz" ocorrido em 1504. Projetada pelo arquiteto João Antunes, a igreja, de planta octogonal e espaço interior em cruz grega, exibe uma imponente cúpula de granito com cerca de 10 metros, inspirada na arquitetura italiana. No interior, destaca-se a talha dourada barroca dos altares, com especial relevância para o altar-mor e um altar lateral que alberga uma imagem do Senhor da Cruz do século XVI. As paredes são revestidas por painéis de azulejos setecentistas de João Neto, retratando cenas da Via Sacra, complementados por púlpitos em madeira escura. Classificada como Imóvel de Interesse Público desde 1958, a igreja é um notável exemplar da arquitetura barroca no Minho e o centro das Festas das Cruzes, realizadas anualmente no início de maio, sendo um importante centro de devoção religiosa e um marco na identidade cultural de Barcelos.
Built from 1705, the Church of Senhor Bom Jesus da Cruz, in Barcelos, marks the site of the "Miracle of the Cross" that occurred in 1504. Designed by the architect João Antunes, the church, with an octagonal layout and an interior space in a Greek cross, exhibits an imposing granite dome of about 10 meters, inspired by Italian architecture. Inside, the baroque gilded carving of the altars stands out, with special relevance to the main altar and a side altar that houses an image of the Lord of the Cross from the 16th century. The walls are covered with panels of 18th-century tiles by João Neto, depicting scenes from the Via Sacra, complemented by dark wood pulpits. Classified as a Property of Public Interest since 1958, the church is a remarkable example of Baroque architecture in Minho and the center of the Festas das Cruzes, held annually in early May, being an important center of religious devotion and a landmark in the cultural identity of Barcelos.

The Astronist Institution is pleased to publish this, the second official depiction of Irene Mary Taylor in effort of her Cause for Beatification. The depiction was masterfully created by Institutional illustrator David Young from October to December 2021 and marks the seventh commission for Mr Young from the Institution so far. It reflects a real event that occurred which Cometan recollected from his time spent with his grandmother during his childhood.
This intriguing illustration is set during the Summer of 2007 in the grounds of Irene Mary and Derrick Taylor's home at 222 Longmeanygate in Leyland, Lancashire, a unique house which Derrick built himself during the early 1960s. You can see the house in the distant background. In the foreground of the illustration, one sees depicted an enclosed garden of overhanging trees, flowers, a cobbled pathway and trellises.
Indeed, your eye immediately turns to the two figures in the scene, the first is the devout old lady kneeling in what appears to be a small red shed filled with Catholic religious devotional cards, statues and ornaments. The lady's prayers on this hot summer afternoon are interrupted by a young boy who, after running from the field behind, appears at the shed door. This boy is a nine-year old Cometan, the grandson of Irene Mary. In the not too distant background, you can also see a shrine to the Virgin Mary that Irene Mary and her grandchildren built during the mid-2000s to show their devotion to the Mother of God. The shrine is now described "lost" since the death of Irene Mary in 2015 and the subsequent dilapidation of her home 222 and its grounds which were sold to new owners in 2020.
This illustration represents once again the bond shared between Cometan and his grandmother and provides audiences with an insight into one of Cometan's most prominent memories of his time spent at 222 Longmeanygate. The illustration also contributes to the image of Irene Mary for the efforts of her Cause for Beatification as an ordinary grandmother with an extraordinary dedication to her Traditionalist Catholicism. Although bright and summery, this scene depicted holds within it a sense of mystery and intrigue.
