Saint Molua (d. c 609),〔''The Oxford Dictionary of Saints'', p.343〕 (also known as ''Lua'', ''Da Lua''),〔 was an Irish saint, who was a Christian abbot in the Early Middle Ages.〔 ==Life== St Molua was an Irish priest of the 6th century who like Columba and Gall trained in the monastery at Bangor,〔 County Down (about twelve miles from Belfast). The saint’s real name was originally Lughaidh (pronounced Lua). His father is believed to have been Coche or Carthach of the noble family of Ui- Fidgente from the Limerick area. His mother, Sochla was from Ossory.〔("who was St. Molua/", St. Molua's Church, Stormont )〕 Little is known on Molua other than he was a monk, a builder and possibly a hermit.〔 Molua was the founder of Killaloe ((アイルランド語:Cill-da-Lua)), which bears his name ''Lua''.〔 Molua had his oratory on Friar's Island〔 near the present village of Killaloe.〔 Like most Irish saints he appears to have been very hospitable, believing that in entertaining others he was entertaining Christ. He was kind to animals as well as humans and it was said that when he died all living creatures bewailed him.〔 Molua's principal disciple was Saint Flannan, who succeeded Molua.〔 Saint Molua's feast day is on August 4.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mo Lua of Killaloe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
