This memorial at Glasnevin Cemetery commemorates the Legion of Mary — the Catholic lay apostolic movement founded in Dublin in 1921 — and bears the Latin inscription LEGIO MARIAE across its shaft.
The monument is distinguished by a large carved dove with outstretched wings, set on a halo and a wreath, perched atop the cross — an unusual and striking element among the largely cross-and-headstone forms typical of the cemetery. Below it, a circular relief panel depicts the Virgin Mary, standing with arms extended in the manner of the Miraculous Medal iconography, set above a turned column resting on a large stone sphere.
The combination of dove, Marian relief, and devotional inscription marks this as a memorial closely tied to the Legion of Mary’s own visual symbolism, and it stands among the more iconographically distinctive of Power’s funerary commissions at Glasnevin.
