St Michan's Church of Irelandのレビュー

うわー!信じられないほど。墓地に完全に保存されている 800 年前のミイラを見る機会は他にどこにありますか?教会も素晴らしく、セント パトリックのようなものほど精巧ではありませんが、中をく価値があります。素晴らしいツアーガイドと本当に素敵なスタッフがいました。チケットは高すぎず、学生割引があります!

There are mummies down in the crypt of the church that are well worth the visit. One is a crusader and they let you shake his hand. One of the most unique experience's I've ever had. It's an amazing off the beaten path find.

The current St. Michan's is located on the site of a medieval church and while the current place of worship is rather ordinary, the real treasure is through the small doors on the sides. Below the current church are limestone crypts that can be seen through guided tours. While it's illegal to open the caskets of the deceased, a few were exposed by accident and are now on display, each with their own story. The oldest is believed to be the 800 year old remains of a crusader whose hand a visitor is supposed to "shake" (rub gently). I have heard some say that this is a retired practice because one of his index fingers is missing, believed to have been broke off by an overzealous shaker, however on my tour (first of the day on a weekday) there were only three of us, an older couple and myself, and we were allowed to do it if we cared to. So this might be at the discretion of the tour guide depending on the nature of the guests.

You've got to do the Tour Of The Crypt...seriously COOL mummies!

Ask the priest to see the mummies! they may let you touch them! It's a different experience, I'm tired of visiting similar churches, this one has something special!
