Jerry describes how British soldiers murdered Catholic priests and stole a sacred chalice from his family's farm.
As heard by us
A tree, a chalice, and a local story that widens into a larger history.
This episode treats the chalice tree as a landmark with two histories at once: the visible one and the remembered one shaped by local folklore about Catholic priests, penal times, and a chalice linked to the O'Keeffe family.
Why you'd press play
A stolen chalice, a giant sycamore, and a County Cork mystery that still has people remembering it differently.
