Reredos - St Patrick's Church - Belfast - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

"Behind the altar versus populum, made of Portland stone and installed in 1997, stands the original high altar with its reredos of Caen stone, relieved by Cork red and Galway green marble columns. The reredos together with its sculptures was the work of O’Neill and Pearse of Dublin as was the Portland stone statue of St. Patrick outside in the tympanum over the main front doors.

After a catastrophic fire on 12th of October, 1995, every effort was made to restore the church to its original state by the then Administrator, Very Rev David White, and his project manager, Mr Oliver Magill. To repair the reredos and its tabernacle, old sketches and photographs were consulted. After a long, costly and painstaking restoration project, he church was reopened by Bishop Patrick Walsh on 5th of October, 1997."
