Wood Plaque Premium - St. Fiacre by B. Nippert

Saint Fiacre was a seventh century hermit in County Kilkenny, Ireland. His holiness, skills with herbs, and healing powers led to great unwanted fame. He wanted so much to be left alone with God that he fled Ireland and went to France. He prayed, fasted, and tended his garden. Seeking to build a monastery, Fiacre asked Saint Faro for a plot of land. Faro told him he could have as much land as he could turn in one day. Using only the end of his staff, Fiacre miraculously toppled trees and cleared an uncanny amount of land.
