Every year in Ireland thousands of
Catholics make a pilgrimage to the
mountain known as Croagh Patrick. I
won't
go into details here. You can read more
in
the links if you are curious.
The journey up the mountain is very
demanding
and is carried out in all weathers. It
involves
ascending a long, steep slope
of
sharp scree stones. The climb is
gruelling,
but in true Catholic tradition, the
dedicated
believer will complete the punishing
journey in their bare feet, or even on
their
hands and knees.
There are many Catholics throughout the
world who would like to experience the
benefits of this journey, but for various
reasons can never make it to Ireland. It is
for these folk that I have devised The
Croagh Patrick Pilgrimage Stair Carpet.
Available to fit on any stair case, the
carpet consists of a stout hessian
backing
unto which are firmly glued a continuous
covering of genuine Croagh Patrick
stones. Though the stones are small, to
save weight and bulk, they have been
specially selected to be particularly sharp
and mortifying on the naked feet and
knees of the domestic pilgrim.
After use it can be rolled up and stored
under the bed.
Extra replacement stones can be
requested when the sharp edges on the
existing ones wear smooth.
Carpets available in Office Block lengths
as a special order.
