  1. A Holy Man

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there lived in Cill-Domnaig a very holy man. One day he went down to sea to bathe and when he was taking off his clothes he left his scapulars on a rock beside him. When he was going home he left them behind him and was very much annoyed when he thought of them. But when he was going home the scapulars were left on the road-side for him.
