Life of Saint Fintán, alias Munnu, abbot of Tech Munnu (Taghmon, Co. Wexford) (Author: [unknown])

Section 35

When the day of his death had arrived, he summoned his community to him and blessed them. And, having received the body and blood of Christ, he slept, and a multitude of innumerable angels came towards him. When a crowd of demons had encountered him in the air, Saint Fintán looked to the heavens. Seeing Fintán's face, the demons fled this way and that with great fear, and there was no strength left in them until the end of the week, and they were not able to wage war against anyone. At Fintán's arrival all the familia of heaven rejoiced; where, in the sight of the eternal king, he remains without end in the rule of our Lord Jesus Christ for ever and ever. Amen. 20
