The full ancient story of St Molaise contains many miracles he performed. One of these-a legend attached to Molaise is that connected to his well (Tobar Molaise), which is still venerated today. The legend is that Molaise was preaching to a group of people who eventually became thirsty. When he became aware of their discomfort, he went over to a rock and pushed his hand through the surface of it, whereupon water began to flow from it. The well exists to the present time and has a small stone edifice built around it.
