Where were you on that frosty Christmas Eve night

When the light at the cross shone so warmly and bright

Standing there proudly was the Holy Year Cross

All lovely and clean, in a back drop of green

In the weeks gone afore, with much sweat & toil

Loca1 men and in deed boys cleared the trees and their spoil

They washed down the cross for all to see

Many thanks to John Joe for letting it be

Then the decision was made that the cross must be lit

So to the spark to work at it

Along came a genny to the Scullions Hill site

To provide the Big cross with much needed light

At 7.15 with rain falling down

The cross was lit from top to the ground

Liam with his camera captured the moment

And on the net will proudly .com it

From 7.15 to 12.55

The cross on the hill was truly alive

Church goers whether early or late

Could see the cross from our own chapel gate

Every one said how well it did look

Thanks to the work from our Termoneeny Group

But for those who missed it I’m sorry to say

For them and their souls we sadly must pray

To lighten their hearts and bring them some cheer

The cross on the hill will be lit up next year!!!!!
