Memories of the Christmas Crib at St. Raphael's Church in Youghal. - The Christmas Crib at St. Raphael's Church.

Seán Fitzgerald and Stephen Leamy talk about the history and traditions associated with the Christmas crib at St. Raphael's Church, Youghal, Co. Cork. The Nativity scene is built by Seán and Stephen who voluntarily give up their time every year to create the beautiful scene depicting the birth of Jesus.

The building of the crib at St. Raphael's goes back to 1904. It is a tradition for the people to take a piece of straw from the manger after Christmas and keep for the new year ahead.

Unfortunately not long after this was filmed the church at St. Raphael's was closed down by the authorities, deconsecrated, and the tradition of building the crib that went on for well over a century is sadly no more.

For Christians throughout the world, no matter the characters, the sight of a nativity still evokes the miracle of Jesus' conception, his humble birth, his ultimate sacrifice and the gift of everlasting life to those who believe. The true meaning of Christmas.

New monument at North Abbey cemetery in Youghal honours deceased - New monument at North Abbey cemetery in Youghal honours deceased

The setting winter sun shines on the new memorial honouring the deceased in the Garden of Remembrance at North Abbey cemetery, Youghal, County Cork. The names of the deceased are etched onto both sides of the seven black vertical standing monoliths.

Between 1896 and 1970, 367 men, women, and children were buried in a section of North Abbey Cemetery known as The Garden of Remembrance. None of the graves were marked or had gravestones

The inscription on the top of the centre column reads:
"May the Lord support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in his mercy may he give us a safe lodging, and holy rest, and peace at the last."

Youghal's well loved 96 year old Mary Anne Smyth talks about the 'Rope Walk' and growing up in town way back when - Youghal's well loved 96 year old Mary Anne Smyth talks about the 'Rope Walk' and growing up in the town way back when...

Mary Anne recalls growing up as a child at Ashe street, Youghal. Her memories of her stately looking mother who died when Mary Anne was only six years of age leaving behind four children. How her Aunty Nora O'Sullivan reared them with her father and their religious faith.

Mary Anne talks about the 'Rope Walk'. Her father, Michael O'Sullivan made ropes for the ships and fishing boats and also for the local hardware shops. The 'Rope Walk', as it was known, was located in the open grass area running parallel to the Youghal Town walls and Raheen road (years before Sarsfield terrace (late 1930s) and Raheen park (late 1960s) were built)

She remembers the terrible times when the spread of infection was rife in the community and people had to go to the Fever Hospital (now long gone) The Fever Hospital was located near the town walls and within throwing distance of the rope walk. The hospital admitted fever patients who had contagious diseases like Scarlet Fever, Typhus epidemics (after the Irish Famine) Diphtheria, and other diseases.

Also discussed is the extraordinary story of her brother, Larry O'Sullivan, and another local Youghal man, Cory Murphy, who joined the British Navy in WW2. How their ship was torpedoed by the Japanese in the Pacific, survived shark infested waters only to end up being horrifically tortured in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Then as they were worked slave labour digging tunnels in the city of Nagasaki, the atom bomb was dropped on August 9th 1945, again both miraculously survived. Larry O'Sullivan ended up in hospital in a terrible condition with what we know as Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but overcame his difficulties. All he wanted was his girlfriend. The doctor said to him, "Larry, go out and search for her". He eventually found her, they married and had four children. Mary Anne said "You can't bury a memory"

Moll Goggin's Corner in Youghal, County Cork, on a wi nter's day. (Nov. 14th 2020) - Moll Goggin's Corner in Youghal, County Cork, on a winter's day. (Nov. 14th 2020)

Moll Goggin's Corner is a famous landmark located in Youghal, Co Cork. The legend of Moll Goggin has survived for hundreds of years. Moll Goggin is said to have been deeply in love witha young seafarer who had promised to marry her on his ship's rerurn to Youghal. When Moll expected the ship to arrive she started her lookout vigil at the corner which gave the best view out to sea.

Sadly, the days of her watch stretched to months and then years with no news of the ship. Her vigil was so long and poignant that in the town and locality this corner of the headland became synonymous with the name.
