CORNISH DEDICATIONS. 527 



She is invoked in S. Moling's poem on the Saints of 

 Leinster : — 



" Nun from Cetharladit, 

 highly happy nun, 

 Cron, daughter of Setna, 

 Bless the track of my way ! " 



In the Life of S. Molua, of Clonfert, we have a story 

 relative to Croine, who is represented as his sister, but as he was 

 son of Carthagh the Red, this cannot have been, and she was 

 only his spiritual sister, or else the Ooines must be distinguished. 



Molua had been on a visit to Wexford. On his return to his 

 own people, he found his sister Croine dead, or apparently so, 

 and the women were weeping around her. 



" May there be everlasting joy for thee in heaven, sister ! " 

 exclaimed S. Molua. Hearing his voice, she opened her eyes 

 and smiled. Then he bade her rise and accompany him to the 

 church, where he celebrated the Eucharist and communicated 

 her. And when he had so done, she said " I am aweary, let me 

 enter into my rest." 



So she returned to her bed, laid herself down and died. 



S. Setna was a friend of Molua, and the latter may have 

 entrusted his sister to Setna to bring over to Cornwall. But 

 Molua's death in 608 is too late to allow that his sister can 

 have come across with the first swarm of Irish Saints. 



S. Cross. 



Grade Church, in Bishop Stapeldon's Register is entered, in 

 1317, as Ecclesia Sanctee Crucis in Kerrier. It has been 

 suggested that S. Critha is S. Cross, but there is no evidence 

 to favour such a suggestion. There was a church of the Holy 

 Rood at Bodmin, at a much later date. Its tower remains. 



S. CuBY, Abbot, Confessor. 



This Saint was son of Selyf or Solomon, King of Domnonia, 

 and nephew of S. Cador or Cadwr, Duke of Cornwall, and of 

 S. Jestyn. 



S. Cuby has been well treated by Mr. Adams, in the 

 "R.I.C. Journal," vol. ii, p. 314.
