Summary
Kylemore Abbey just received a stunning spiritual upgrade with the unveiling of “The Synaxis of the Holy Apostles,” a hand-painted icon by American professor Susan Kelly von Medicus, blessed during Mass and gifted to the Benedictine Community. Crafted with traditional egg tempera, natural pigments, and 23-karat gold leaf, the artwork honors centuries of Christian tradition. The donation, supported by The Poleberry Foundation and Martin Dunphy, comes from a family with deep Irish roots — including Princess Grace of Monaco — making this a powerful cultural and spiritual homecoming. Now permanently installed, the icon invites visitors to find peace and contemplation amid the Abbey’s storied legacy of faith and beauty.
