Prior to the establishment of Glasnevin Cemetery, Irish Catholics had no cemeteries of their own in which to bury their dead and, as the repressive Penal Laws of the eighteenth century placed heavy restrictions on the public performance of Catholic services, it had become normal practice for Catholics to conduct a limited version of their own funeral services in Protestant churchyards or graveyards. This situation continued until an incident at a funeral held at St. Kevin's Churchyard in 1823 provoked public outcry when a Protestant sexton reprimanded a Catholic priest for proceeding to perform a limited version of a funeral mass.The outcry prompted Daniel O'Connell, champion of Catholic rights, to launch a campaign and prepare a legal opinion proving that there was actually no law passed forbidding praying for a dead Catholic in a graveyard. O'Connell pushed for the opening of a burial ground in which both Irish Catholics and Protestants could give their dead dignified burial.Glasnevin Cemetery was consecrated and opened to the public for the first time on 21 February 1832. The first burial, that of eleven-year-old Michael Carey from Francis Street in Dublin,[3] took place on the following day in a section of the cemetery known as Curran's Square. The cemetery was initially known as Prospect Cemetery, a name chosen from the townland of Prospect, which surrounded the cemetery lands. Besides the famous interred at Glasnevin, nearly 800,000 people have been buried in Glasnevin in unmarked mass graves due to the death toll from the Great Famine of the 1840s and a later cholera epidemic.Originally covering nine acres of ground, the area of the cemetery has now grown to approximately 124 acres. This includes its expansion on the southern side of the Finglas Road with the section called St. Paul's. The option of cremation has been provided since March 1982. Glasnevin Cemetery remains under the care of the Dublin Cemeteries Committee. The development of the cemetery is an ongoing task with major expansion and refurbishment work being carried out at the present time.
The annual blessing of the graves takes place each summer as it has done since the foundation of the cemetery in 1832.The cemetery contains historically notable monuments and the graves of many of Ireland's most prominent national figures. These include the graves of Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell, Michael Collins, Éamon de Valera, Arthur Griffith, Maude Gonne, Kevin Barry, Roger Casement, Constance Markievicz, Pádraig Ó Domhnaill, Seán MacBride, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, James Larkin, Brendan Behan, Christy Brown and Luke Kelly of the Dubliners.The grave of Michael Collins, the nationalist leader who was killed in the Irish Civil War in 1922, is among the most visited sites in Glasnevin. Around him were buried at least 183 soldiers of the Irish Free State. In 1967 their names were recorded on memorial around Collin's grave.
#death #history #Glasnevin
On 28 June 1920, a company of the Connaught Rangers stationed at Jullundur on the plains of the Punjab refused to perform their military duties as a protest against the activities of the British Army in Ireland. On the following day, the mutineers sent two emissaries to a company of Connaught Rangers stationed at Solon, about twenty miles away in the foothills of the Himalayas. The soldiers there took up the protest as well and, like their counterparts at Jullundur, flew the tricolour of Ireland, wore ‘Sinn Féin’ rosettes on their British Army uniforms and sang rebel songs.
The protests were initially peaceful, but on the evening of 1 July around 30 members of the company at Solon, armed with bayonets, attempted to recapture their rifles from the company magazine. The soldiers on guard opened fire, killing two men and wounding another. The incident effectively brought the mutiny to an end, and the mutineers at both Jullundur and Solon were placed under armed guard. Sixty-one men were convicted for their role in the mutiny. Fourteen were sentenced to death by firing squad, but the only soldier whose capital sentence was carried out was Private James Joseph Daly. Daly was considered the leader of the mutiny at Solon and the man responsible for the failed attack on the magazine. On the morning of 2 November 1920 he was executed in Dagshai prison in northern India.
With the exception of one man (who died in prison at Dagshai), by the middle of the following year all of the convicted mutineers had been transferred to prisons in England to serve out the remainder of their sentences. The Connaught Rangers, along with three other Irish regiments, were disbanded in June 1922. Following negotiations between the Irish Free State and the British government, the mutineers were released from prison and returned to Ireland early in 1923. Some enlisted in the National Army, others joined the Garda; many struggled to make a life in post-independence Ireland. Although the mutineers in many cases received rapturous welcomes in their home town, they quickly vanished from the public eye.
Thanks Tom, it was great to get Dalys photo but found none for the others, rest in peace to them all ❤
Recommend any books on this topic Tom, thanks

What can I say every trip you both produce even better.Those monuments the cost even back then and the workman ship words can’t describe.

Thanks Steve ❤️❤️
It totally amazes me how many huge monuments are in each place you visit. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks Rita, it's amazing ❤
Another awesome video, God bless all their souls. My best friend, Brendan Dowling, is interned in big newer cemetary in Galway center. When I was looking for his stone the first time to share a shot of irish whiskey again, which I do every year, I happened upon another stone nearby that had the following inscribed on the headstone - I told you I was sick...There is also a large memorial there to the victums of a large plane crash...Every time I visit Brendan, he is still atTrappers Inn Pub, on the Tuam road having a pint...ps we dont mind the wind...
Is it Bohermore? If it was I was there and I've a video on here about it, plane crash victims etc ❤❤
Everything you do Sue is a complete treasure!! I'm trying to catch up on the ones I've missed. You're wonderful. God Bless you ✝️!!!
Ahh thank you Russell, I appreciate it 💗
This is amazing garden cemetery. A beautiful place to walk and the monuments are amazing.
I'd love this to be my place for a walk everyday, it's so interesting ❤❤
Hey Sue!! Thank you for taking us along on this explore. This place is absolutely fantastic! I bet you could spend a week in there. From the distance shots, it's so Gothic in appearance. Up close shots, reveal all its individual beauty. The history is amazing!! Thank you for all that you do!!!❤🇺🇸
Oh I'm going back, I so loved this place, it's beautiful, thanks Tres ❤❤
Oh I'm going back, I so loved this place, it's beautiful, thanks Tres ❤❤
The wind was unfortunate, but being able to see all of this makes is a small thing for your viewers. How many people have you made happy by showing us this amazing place. I am honored!!!!
Ahh Janice that's so sweet, it's a joy, I just love this, I'm happiest when I'm walking among such beauty 💖
Hi Sue! Great coverage there despite the wind. Given His Eminence's lack of sympathy for the nationalist cause I'm not surprised he wasn't the most popular prelate Ireland's ever produced. And I wasn't expecting to see a shrine behind those cast-iron doors. I hear a council worker in Co. Wexford has been killed by a falling tree during the big storm so I hope all's well with you and yours. 🇦🇺 🇮🇪
How very sad for him, it was a rough few days and I've awoken to even more rain and high winds, I so wanted to get on the road for some more videos
Aww sue I've never ever saw anything like this it's just so beautiful it's amazing & the history behind it am really loving this am going to save this tour also to have another look at it, God bless you sue many many thanks God bless you sue 🙏🌹☘️🇮🇪

Thanks Kathi, I'm going back, what I'd love to do is go LIVE and ye could choose where I go ❤❤❤
I was so glad it was a long video. I could walk with you for hours wherever you go.
I was hoping to make it feel like a walk with me and make it feel like you are all with me ❤❤❤
Your videos are amazing! So fascinating and beautiful. Watching from Connecticut, United States.
Thanks so much Sue ❤️ ❤️
Glasnevin is just amazing. I've lost count of the number of times I've visited but never tire of it. The graves and monuments to important heros who gained independence for Ireland are such a draw. Another favourite place for me is Kilmainham jail. Seeing all the items associated with freedom fighters and the execution yard is humbling. I especially remember walking alone up a wide staircase in the museum and having somebody grab my ankles from behing. I grabbed the rail to stop falling back, but there was nobody behind me. For some reason I wasn't frightened.
Oh wow, that's some story, no one there, I've learned to accept spirit life and hope to have such encounters too ❤
Sue, I so enjoyed visiting this lovely Cemetery with you, today. So much history. I am subscribing.

Thanks for showing us this beautiful place
More than welcome Mary ❤❤
This is amazing. Touching words.
Thank you ❤️
Darlin Sue, you need a furry wrap to put over the microphone to cut the wind sound. Your videos are lovely. I never got to spend more than a month in Ireland. Perhaps my most favorite place that I was lucky to visit. Travel is too hard now I so depend on videos like yours to see the places I would like to visit. This is a beautiful place to be buried. Stunning monuments 🇮🇪💐♥️
Hi Marilyn yes i have since upgraded my mic to a newer kind thank you, Ireland is beautiful, thanks again ❤️
Very beautiful. So much history. Thank you Sue for your videos. Please take care of yourself and be safe. Much love from Washington state.

I'll comment once I can get my jaw off the floor....................................................wow that is a great place too walk around, very beautiful, amazing statues.
I just love this place, I need to go as soon as I can, I missed so much as I didn't have enough time 😫 ❤❤
Stay safe Mam...God bless...🥰🥰🥰
God Bless ❤
I’ve never seen anything like that before. Those stones are breathtaking!
That is one of my favourite places 😍
That place is incredible ! Thank You Sue .. Seems like every single family plot was no expense spared . Did you have to be of nobility or very wealthy to be interred there ? Just beautiful! This place is really astonishing.
Most of the noble and wealthy are buried around or near to Daniel O'Connells resting place, it's just amazing but lots we just didn't get to see ❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards When I notice the youth perish back in the day , like three family members at 26 years I think how odd , did they all fall off a cliff together or what gives? I have to remember that these younger folks more than likely got sick and succumbed to a virus or disease of the day. Cut down in the prime of their lives and no amount of money or nobility can bring them back . How sad for the families. Today , we basically have the same thing except now when a younger person bites the dust it’s usually either an accident or drugs . Still sad . I’m one who would rather spend all that money on the living , not the dead. Sue, Thank You , good job and lots of hard work go into your segments.
We sure can't take it with us, probably sickness so sad for the families 😢
Breath taking place loving it
Beautiful cemetary and monuments!
Thanks it was stunning 😍
Thank you as always. I noticed my maiden name there I will have to look up what county it is. So amazing are these monuments. Not many express their grief in such grand ways anymore.
Hi, it's Co. Dublin the capital of Ireland, isn't it just beautiful 😍 ❤️
Hello Sue looks great a nice day out
Hey Larry, it's just outstanding in every sense of the word ❤❤
Hello Sue...watching from the states.I was very surprised when you said that one of the stones was written in the Irish language. I guess I've always thought that you just spoke English in Ireland. Would it be the Gaelic language?
What a beautiful cemetary...thanks for sharing.
Yes Nancy, we were once all Irish spoken and we still learn Irish in school, it is still spoken in the west of Ireland, thanks for watching❤
It is stunning Sue thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks Fuzzy Navel, haven't seen you here for awhile hope all good ❤❤
I took the night off from packing. I'm getting ready to move.
Oh God, that can be a stressful time, mind yourself ❤
Just an amazing video Sue! Par excellence. Stop at the nearest PUB and get a stiff drink to warm you up after you leave the graveyard!
Thanks Richard ❤️
Another awesome video thank you can’t wait for the next ☝️
Thanks Robert ❤️
Thank you for posting this. I always have the intentions of visiting Gasnevin, but always run out of time whilst visiting Dublin.
I almost missed my train as I lost track of time, you need at least 3 hours to tip the point of having a good look, time flies fast in there ❤❤
Don’t worry about the wind, Sue. This location was stunning and well worth it.
It was worth it but I'm always hard on myself if it's not perfect, thanks so much ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Don’t be hard on yourself, we appreciate everything you do 💕
Great explore & video as always 👍😊
Thanks Bob, it's amazing 👏 😀
This cemetery is simply, AMAZING!!! The monuments, tombs, family mausoleums, simply amazing!!! Judging by some of the mausoleums having new signs and doors 🚪 it seems that some families are trying to keep their family mausoleums in somewhat good condition, unless the cemetery management is doing some of this. One question if I may ask? Some of these older family mausoleums have a grill, or perhaps a gate on the inside. Could the reason for this be added protection against vandalism? Thank you very much Sue and GV for a totally awesome video. Take care. 😊
Maybe it was Michael, I never thought of that and it makes perfect sense too
@Serenity Sue Thank you very much for getting back to me Sue, it was actually the first thing that came to mind when I saw those grills, or gates. I maybe wrong, but this cemetery is so HUGE, it would probably take someone a good couple of months, just to cover everything. Thank you very much again Sue and GV. Have a great day.
Thanks!
Very welcome Sandra
Thank you for another beautiful tour of a gorgeous cemetery. Very educational and very informative thanks again Sue.🙏🏻🇺🇸👮🏻♂️
Thanks Mike glad you enjoyed ❤❤
Hi Sue, The San Francisco Bay Area is also just as windy
Ahh it's so annoying, I don't mind a breeze but this was blowing the gimble around
A beautiful cemetery and well looked after as the dead need to be honoured in a civil way
Thanks Steve, I adore Glasnevin
The sculpture of the woman in the cornette most likely was a nun because she is wearing that religious Habit that was worn by the order of nuns called the Daughters of Charity. During my research, I read that because of the cornette, they were known in Ireland as the 'butterfly nuns.' In the United States, the Daughters of Charity wore wide, white corvettes from 1850 to 1964. There are several pictures of nuns in cornette Habits online. The actress sally Field wore a similar cornette in the 1967 movie, 'The Flying Nun.'
This statue is a favourite of mine, I'd never seen one before but had a feeling she was a nun. Isn't she beautiful, thanks for the information. Love the name butterfly nuns ❤️
This cemetery is so beautiful
It is, one of my favourites
thank you for a great video
Thanks Jamie ❤️
Love the video and music❤❤😊😊
Thank you ❤️
Love what you do it's amazing history
Thanks John ❤️
The size of this cemetery and the # of people buried there is almost beyond belief. I like that it was for all religions and those with no religion because no one knows what is in the heart of a person just before they leave this life. The #'d underground "funeral masoleums" remind me of "apts".
Very true Arleen, I didn't no it was for all religions and those of non, how courage was Daniel O'Connell all those years ago to make a statement ❤
I wonder how much it cost to build some of these back then. They are beautiful, so ornate and big.
Can't imagine the cost of one monument back then
Beautiful cemetery!❤️
It is gorgeous for sure x
I've never seen such magnificent memorials ever.
It's a beautiful cemetery
THOSE ARE SOME VERY EXPENSIVE AND ORNATE BURIALS AND THE DETIAL AND STONEWORK AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL TOO CHURAAA LUVVV😉🇮🇪☘️😁
It's only gorgeous up there despite the rotten weather ❤❤
Is Grace Plunkett nee Gifford buried here?
Yes and I didn't find her, I adore the song and I didn't find Eamon de Valera either but Grace is on my list next time
Just having breakfast its 8am Saturday morning here in Queensland 💕🇦🇺
Hey liz, come into live chat on premiere we are all in there 😀
Beautiful ❣️
Thanks so much 🙏
I'm set to go 💕
Brilliant ❤️
I went to university in White Plains, NY. How cool!
That is cool and a great connection 😀
It really makes me wonder if, back then when you walked through where the crypt doors are with their ventilation holes are if it smelled really bad?
No smell wally at all ❤
All fabulous, and sad at the same time
Just amazing ❤
Hey Sue, I’m from Dun Laoghaire County Dublin but have been living in USA for 30 years now.
Have you ever visited Carrickbrennan Cemetery in Monkstown? I used to go there as a kid in the 1980’s.
I love Dun Laoghaire, have visited graveyards there, I believe carrickbrennan is locked up now, which really annoys me
Did I read that right? 800,000 in mass graves? 🇦🇺 🇮🇪
Yes, I think there must be several mass graves there
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I had heard about the Magdalene graves but I had no idea there were so many burials from the mid 19th century in Dublin. It's the sort of number I'd associate with a genocide. May God grant rest to those souls. 🇦🇺 🇮🇪
I'd imagine it was from the famine Times, Dublin has still less people living there now than there was back before the famine, so many died and lots immigrated to America 💔❤
At 1:47 was that a person walking? Kinda glitchie.. It just didn't look right that's all...great video!! Thank u!✌️
Thank you, I went back, seen the person walking, not sure I noticed them at the time but I get what you're saying 😳
This cemetery is kept so nice . I worked as a sexton for 2 years. A lot of work!
Wonderful, did you ring the bell too
Looks very big inside, have anyone ever let u in? It's Amazing what good Shape the caskets r in. Do anyone still go inside or r they left & forgotten & just have perpetual care? Is that the right word?
No I've never got inside most are 100s of years old
While we were looking at the bit black doors did anybody feel like what would happen if a face jumped out looking at everyone from the other side of the door?
Hi, I never really think of it at the time, I definitely would get a fright if it happened though
