The book also includes accounts of his miracles and his interactions with other saints and leaders of his time. The Life of St. Mochuda of Lismore is an important historical and religious document, providing insight into the early Christian church in Ireland and the lives of its influential figures.Mochuda was very handsome of features with the result that at different times during his youth maidens to the number of thirty were so enamoured of him that they could not conceal their feeling. But Mochuda prayed for them, and obtained for them by his prayers that their carnal love should be turned into a spiritual. They afterwards became consecrated religious and within what to-day is his parish he built them cells and monasteries which the holy virgins placed under his protection and jurisdiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
