    (continued from previous page)
    following Sunday the priest was giving a sermon about Cian and how thankful the people ought to be to be rid of him when who should walk in the door but Cian himself. The priest got such a fright that he ran out. Cian never stopped till he went to the altar
    He turned to the people and said
    "I am Cian na m Beann Óir my provisions lasted longer than my life.
    I never put anyone out of my house and I was never put out of the house of God. But that priest who is judging me as he likes - the place he wants me to go to that is where he will go himself.
    He then disappeared and was never seen again.
