A long, long time ago, for the FEAST listing for 4 August, I mentioned the
following:

> * Molua or Lughaidh, abbot (608)
> 	- when he died, the birds wept

To which Tom Izbicki said:

> Please send me more on this.  The image is striking.  tom izbicki

I couldn't agree more. I found this quite touching, actually, when I read
it good old Butler. So, from time to time in the library I've checked
Butler's sources: AA.SS Aug. i; C. Plummer's edition in the Vitae SS.
Hib., ii, pp. 206-225; and the most recent edition of the Codex
Salmanticensis, done in the mid-1960s (don't have that info with me) in
the Bollandists' series Subsidia Hagiographica, v. 20. I could not find
this image reported in any of these three sources.

Can anyone else out there find this for us? At least two of us are very
curious to find the source!

Thanks, George Ferzoco
