	Holy Cross Abbey, Thurles
		4mi/6km south of Thurles, on the right bank of the Suir, is Holy Cross Abbey (13th-15th C; National Monument), a Cistercian house founded in the 12th C. The abbey possessed a fragment of the True Cross which made it a great place of pilgrimage.
		In the north transept, partly preserved, is a wall painting (a feature rare in Ireland) depicting a stag hunting scene in shades of brown, red and green.
		Between two chapel recesses in the south transept is a columned and arched structure, probably the shrine in which the relic of the True Cross was exhibited.
