IV. HOW CIARAN TURNED WATER INTO HONEY

3. Moreover it fell out on a certain day that the mother of Keranus

himself found fault with him, for that he did not bring wild honey

such as the other boys were wont to carry to their parents. When the

beloved of God and men heard this, he raised his thoughts to the Boy

who was subject to His parents, and blessed water, brought from a

neighbouring spring, in His Name who is able to draw honey from the

rock, and oil from the hardest stone; and presently that water is

changed, with the help of God, into the sweetest honey, and so it is

brought to his mother. This honey his parents sent to Saint Dermicius

the deacon, surnamed Iustus, who baptized him.
