Saint Molua

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 Dark Ages.

Little is known on Molua other than he was a monk, a builder and possibly a hermit. Molua was the founder of Killaloe (Irish:"Cill-da-Lua"),http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08641a.htm Retrieved June 14, 2007] which bears his name "Lua". Molua had his oratory on Friar's Island near the present village of Killaloe.

Molua's principle disciple was Saint Flannan, who succeeded Molua.

Saint Molua's feast day is on August 4.
