Seeking isolation, St. Fiacre fled from Ireland to France and established a hermitage in a cave near a spring. Fiacre asked for land for a garden, to which the bishop granted as much land as he could entrench in one day. The next morning Fiacre walked around the perimeter of the land he wanted, dragging his spade behind him. Wherever the spade touched, trees were toppled, bushes uprooted, and the soil was entrenched. This garden, miraculously obtained, became a place of pilgrimage for centuries for those seeking healing.
