According to an Irish poem in the 12th century Book of Leinster, Crom Cruach's cult image, consisting of a gold figure surrounded by twelve stone figures, stood on Magh Slécht in County Cavan, and was propitiated with first-born sacrifice in exchange for good yields of milk and grain. Crom is said to have been worshipped since the time of Eremon. An early High King, Tigernmas, along with three quarters of his army, is said to have died while worshipping Crom on Samhain eve, but worship continued.Apparently the cult image was destroyed by St. Patrick with a sledgehammer.but this is heresay.it was found still surviving and taken to a museum in Ireland and a replica stands in its place.Apparently there is still worship surviving worldwide.
