Every year scout leaders from 2nd Cork (St Fin Barre’s) Scouts do their part in the Easter celebration at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork. They build, light and supervise the Paschal Fire. This year was no different. On hand this year, however, was fellow scouter and Cork photographer David Barry to take some photos. Here are the photos:
