Holycross Abbey is a restored medieval Cistercian monastery on the banks of the River Suir in Co. Tipperary. A relic of the True Cross drew pilgrims from far and wide since its foundation by D\u00f3nal M\u00f3r \u00d3 Briain, King of Limerick, in 1182AD. Around 1400AD the Butlers of Ormond were patrons and many renovations were carried out. A second relic, the Ormond Relic, was enshrined in the Abbey. Many of the unique architectural features date from the 15th century rebuild.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.holycrossabbey.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/abbeyold-e1371938402220.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[30] attachment wp-att-120\" title=\"Abbey\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/www.holycrossabbey.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/abbeyold-e1371938402220-240x300.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.holycrossabbey.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/abbeyold-e1371938402220-240x300.jpg 240w, http:\/\/www.holycrossabbey.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/abbeyold-e1371938402220.jpg 500w\" alt=\"History of Holycross Abbey\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Important dates in Holycross Abbey History:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Founded in 1182 AD by D\u00f3nal M\u00f3r \u00d3 Briain, King of Limerick.<\/li>\n<li>Reconstructed 1400 to 1450 AD under the patronage of the Earls of Ormond.<\/li>\n<li>Dissolved about 1540 AD.<\/li>\n<li>The last monk Fr.
