Official Crest of the 31st International Eucharistic Congress, 1932.

The Crest is described in the official programme as being: 'Catholic and Irish in conception and execution. It is based on the famous Cross of Cong, a perfect example of Irish ecclesiastical art. The head of the cross, which is a processional one, is reproduced in the design with the staff omitted. The beautiful Celtic interlacing in the panels is copied from the original. The chalice embodied in the design is not a representation of any actual chalice, but rather an approximation to one such as would be made by a contemporary Irish Craftsman working in the Celtic tradition. The Host is designed in the universal mode of Eucharistic symbolism. The Latin inscription—"International Eucharistic Congress at Dublin" is in Celtic script, after the manner of the Irish artist-scribes.
