Earth Deity Enters Cobh Cathedral
Realised by Anne and Garry Wilson, it shows a scale replica of the earth and is part of the Cork Midsummer Festival (June 15-26).
Named for Gaia - a personification of the Earth in Greek mythology, corresponding to the South American Pachamama - the piece measures seven metres in diameter and is covered in high-resolution imagery of the Earth’s surface, provided by NASA.
On social media, Catholics wonder when prayers will be directing to Gaia, "Pugin would have set his cathedral on fire if it were the only way to rid it of that monstrous atrocity."
