_How the Women were raised from Death._
And wheresoever in his preaching went Patrick, the man of God, his lips
diffused the healing knowledge, and the number of the believers was
daily increased. And the Lord assisted his faithful servant with
manifold miracles, and confirmed his doctrine, for that he falsified
not the word of God, but always sought His praise and His glory. And
on a certain day he came to a place called Fearta, where at the side of
a hill two women who had deceased were buried. Then the man of God,
approaching the grave, commanded the earth to be removed, and, having
invoked the name of Christ, he raised them up to life. And the women
thus raised up, even in the presence of all around, proclaimed that
their idols were vain, and that their gods were devils, Christ alone
being the true God; and in His name they besought to be baptized, and
they attained their prayer. And the bystanders glorified God, and
devoutly received his faith and baptism. Thus did the most holy
prelate revive from double death the two women who were dead in the
flesh; and their resurrection from bodily death gave unto many
resurrection from the death of the soul.
