Molaise

Molaise

Saint Molaise, born in the 6th century, also called Saint Laisren or Lazerian, meaning "light". Born in Ireland and raised in Scotland as a young man he lived the life of a hermit on Holy Isle (off the Isle of Arran). He later visited Rome as a pilgrim and was subsequently said to have been ordained a bishop there. On return to Ireland he founded a church at Old Leighlin in County Carlow and eventually became abbot of a local monastery. Saint Molaise's feast day is celebrated on 18 April.

Molaise died in 570 ["Illustrated Dictionary of Irish History." Mac Annaidh, S. (ed). Gill and Macmillan, Dublin. 2001] .
