Oliver Cromwell mural


Oliver Cromwell mural (more info)

Here is a Unionist/Loyalist Mural in Shankill Road, Belfast (Northern Ireland), celebrating the Oliver Cromwell’s men moving into Ireland. They massacred Irish Catholics in an effort to conquer the Island. You can read in the left hand text panel: "Catholicism is more than a religion. It is a Political Power therefore I’m led to believe there will be no peace in Ireland until the Catholic Church is Crushed", in the right hand text panel: "Our Clergy persecuted and our protestant churches desecrated also our protestant people slaughtered in their thousands" and surrounding the portrait of Cromwell: "Lieutenant General Lord Protector of the Protestant Faith". 2004-08-03.
