The miracle of the Apostle of Ireland leading to the expulsion of noxious reptiles from the Emerald Isle is, if not one of the best attested, at least one of the most widely known. In a brief study published some time ago, the writer pointed out that similar miracles are credited to quite a number of other holy men, the scene of their actions being, significantly enough, the Channel Islands and some islands on the French Riviera. The list might be considerably extended.
