Doubting Thomas

Here we have the story of Doubting Thomas on a high cross at Monasterboice.



Jesus is in the middle, and Thomas is on the left, poking a finger into Jesus' side. (The text in John does not say that Thomas actually did this - Jesus did invite him to, but whether Thomas actually did so or not is obviously not the point.) The person on the right is probably St John the Evangelist - he is holding a book, which is probably the Gospel of John, the only Gospel in which this story is found.
