Behind Fr Peter Byrne the red brick walls of the Church of the Ascension of the Lord are decorated with over 2,000 palm white crosses.
The layout is not modular though it is spectacular. The crosses stretch high along the cylindrical walls of the church and parish centre.
Each one placed randomly from the ground to as high as the buildings' vertical limits permit. Their light white colour stands in relief to the religious buildings’ red façade. "They’re small little white crosses.
These would have been what we would have used on Palm Sunday but Palm Sunday was closed down," says the parish priest Fr Peter Byrne. "First we called it 'The Wall of a Thousand Crosses and a Million Tears’ to highlight that this was a place of grief.
