  1. (continued from previous page)
    the Protestants, he and his men were getting weak for the want of water. St. Moculla went on his knees praying to God for help and immediately a spring well burst up through the ground. St. Moculla and his monks drank the water and won the battle. People say that the print of St. Moculla's knees can be seen on the stones where the saint knelt.
