elina_wFrom Tripartite Life of St. Patrick:
"When Patrick was on the road he saw a gentle young warrior herding pigs. His name was Mo Chae. Patrick preached to him, baptised him, tonsured him, and gave him a Gospel Book and the things necessary for the Mass. And on another occasion he gave him the stuff which was given to them by God (that is, its head was in Patrick's lap, its foot in Mo chae's lap), and that is the Etech of Mo Chae of Nendrum. And Mo Chae promised a shaven pig every year to Patrick, and that is what is still given."
