One day when Saint Fintán was there alone in the woods, labouring with his hands, he saw three men in white garments coming towards him and he asked them for a blessing.
They said to him:
‘Come with us a little while’.
When he had walked a little while with them, they said to him:
‘Your ciuitas will be in this place’.
And in his presence they indicated seven places in which afterwards principal ciuitates were built, and he put up crosses in these places.
