The Christian genital symbolism cut in stone is present in many a mediaeval church of Ireland,
despite clean up by the inquisition.
Just look at the daring male and female exhibitionist imagery, at all these penises, vaginas and
anuses, called obscenae in latin church speak.
These charming artefacts are found mostly on the top of columns or hidden in elements
of architectural decorations. That's what has survived to our time from
the rich paraphernalia that served the initiatory purpose of the proto-christian bacchic cult.
The repressions by the new evangelical church and the Inquisition have wiped out
the old Western European Bacchic Christian cult in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Classical *** effigies found in excavations of the Pompeii, which was actually a medieval
town, give a much better idea of what the proto-christian
bacchic cult looked like.
