| http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintk02.htm and I can't spell Ciaran! I forgot St. Manchan: "Manchan's cow was a famous beast belonging to St. Manchan in 'Liath' which gave copious supplies of milk to all who came in need. The monks in nearby Kilmanaghan, not to be outdone in generosity, decided that they'd steal the cow and dispose of her, thus ending the miracle of liath. St. Manchan and his monks followed the footprints of their cow to Kilmanaghan and found her already cut up in a pot. St. Manchan blessed the pot and lo! The cow came to life again. The cow resumed her supply of milk to the poor of Lemanaghan and strange to relate; milk is never sold in Lemanaghan, even to this day." From http://www.offalyhistory.com/c[...]eology/heritage_offaly_pt3.htm Actually all the farmers in the townland must give you milk for free if you ask for it. All these stories say one thing to me: libation Reply | with quote |  19th July 2004ce 10:56 In reply to: Saints and Cows (FourWinds) |
