Stranger at Killknock

A story of spiritual values, about a devoted young priest in an Irish fishing village who battles with the Celtic superstitions of the villagers…The Irish meaning of the name of the village-Killknock-is "the church on the mountain." It is a little place, no more than two hundred souls and all but one of them Catholic. A poor and ancient fishing village, it is devoutly Christian while still believing in old Celtic myths, legends and superstitions. Who the stranger was, no one knew. But certainly he was a worker of miracles, or at least a great healer, for he made sixty-year-old Caitlin look like a girl again and gave Feeney back his hearing. Some of the villagers, noting that the stranger had scars on his hands and feet as though nails had once been driven through them, had unvoiced suspicions.
