Maumeen-Pass in Connemara, Ireland. Two thousand years ago Maumeen was an important Celtic shrine. Later, the site was claimed by the early Christian church and they turned it into a shrine dedicated to Saint Patrick. During the 17th and 18th Centuries the "Penal Laws" outlawed the Catholic church. During that period Maumeen was used as a type of clandestine outdoor church known as a "mass rock". Today, the area is popular with pilgrims. A small church, an outdoor altar, a rock known as St. Patricks bed, a statue of St Patrick, and a holy well can all be found at Maumean.
