Croix Celtique

«En 1997, l'Irlande offre un cadeau aux gens de Québec : une croix celtique faite de calcaire bleu et contenant des éléments symboliques.

La croix est dressée sur le site patrimonial du Parc-de-l'Artillerie."

Celtic Cross

"In 1997, Ireland donated a Celtic cross, made of blue limestone and carved with various symbolic elements, to the people of Québec. This was intended to thank and honour the Québec families who adopted over 60 Irish orphans in 1847 and 1848, at the peak of the Irish Potato Famine. The cross was erected on the Artillery Park Heritage Site."
