    “Long ago there lived a saint in Kyle. ...”

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there lived a saint in Kyle. His name was St.Molua. When he died some of the people wanted to bury him in Kyle and others wanted to bury him in Clonfert. Why they were talking about where they would bury him another coffin appeared by the side of the other.
    One party took one of them and buried it in Kyle. The others took the other coffin and buried it in Clonfert. It is said that he is buried in Kyle and his grave is made different from all the graves.St. Molua's well is in Kyle to this day.
