St. Laserian
Feastday: April 18
Death: 639
Bishop and papal legate,
brother of St. Goban, also listed as Molaisse. Laserian was born in Ireland and
was a monk on
lona, Scotland. He went to Rome and
was ordained by Pope St. Gregory I the Great. Returning to Ireland, Laserian
supported Roman liturgical images, and he went back to Rome with
a group to have Pope Honorius I settle the dispute. Laserian was made a bishop and
papal legate to
Ireland. In 637, he succeeded his brother, St. Goban, as abbot of
Leighlin.

Laserian of Leighlin B
(AC)
(also known as Laisren,
Molaisse, Lamliss)
Born in Ireland; died
April 18, c. 639. Probably identical to Saint Lamliss, Saint Laserian was the
grandson of King Aidan of Scotland, nephew of Saint Blane, and son of Cairel
and Blitha. This noble Ulster couple entrusted the education of their precious
son to Saint Murin at Iona. He is said to have travelled to Rome, where he was
ordained to the priesthood by Saint Gregory the Great. Returning to Ireland, he
settled near Saint Goban's abbey of in Carlow, built a cell, and gathered
disciples around himself. He succeeded Goban as abbot of the monastery of
Leighlin and is said to have founded Inishmurray in County Sligo.
At the national synod in
March 630, held in the White Fields, he, Cummian of Clonfert, and others
advocated abandoning the Irish method of calculating Easter in deference to the
Roman tradition. Because of the opposition to the change offered by such
luminaries as Saint Munnu, a delegation with Laserian at its head was sent to
Rome to investigate the question more fully.
As a result of the
delegation's report, all of Ireland, except Columba's monasteries, adopted the
new reckoning for Easter in 633. An additional outcome was Laserian's
consecration as bishop (either without a particular see or of Leighlin--this is
disputed) and appointment by Pope Honorius I as apostolic legate to Ireland,
where he strenuously upheld the Roman observance. (Leighlin was folded into the
diocese of Kildare in 1678, during the penal period following the Reformation.)
Laserian returned to
Ireland with the relics of Saint Aidan of Ferns. In the 11th century an
intricately wrought shrine with blue glass insets and particolored enamel work
was designed for the relics. Stokes details the beauty of the surviving portions
of the piece which now resides in the National Museum. "Of an original 21
saints arranged in three rows, eleven figures and three pairs of feet survive.
Three nuns in uniform habits with their hair hanging in long curls. Eight male
figures are in varied dress and various postures, one with a sword, one
'standing in sorrow his cheek resting in his hand.'"
According to one legend,
Saint Laserian voluntarily offered himself as a victim soul. He accepted
illness caused by 30 diseases simultaneously in order to expiate his sins and
avoid purgatory after death. His current cultus is partially indebted to this
legend.
In 1330, at a synod held
at Dublin, the feasts of Saints Patrick, Laserian, and Bridget were enumerated
among the double festivals to be kept throughout the province of Dublin. His
cultus center on Inishmurray, where there are notable monastic ruins and a
series of praying-stations. He is also venerated in Scotland, where a cave
hermitage bearing his name survives on Holy Island in Lamlash Bay, off Arran
(Attwater2, Benedictines, Coulson, D'Arcy, Farmer, Husenbeth, Kenney, Montague,
Muirhead, Porter, Stokes).

St. Laserian (also
called Molaise) was the first bishop and patron
saint of Leighlin, b. 566; d. 18 April, 639. He was the son of
Cairel de Blitha, a Ulidian noble, and Gemma, daughter of
a Scottish king. Part of his youth was spent in Scotland.
On his return home he refused the chieftainship of his clan, went into
retirement, and ultimately set out for Rome,
where he studied for fourteen years and was ordained by Gregory
the Great. Returning to Leighlin he entered the great monastery which St.
Gobban had established, and soon found himself its abbot, St.
Gobban having retired in his favour and gone into Ossory.
This establishment soon became famous, and contained as many as 1500 monks. St.
Laserian took the leading part in settling the Easter
controversy. In the Synod of Magh-lene he successfully defended
the Roman computation, and was sent by the council as
delegate to Rome.
There, in 633, he was consecrated first Bishop of Leighlin by Honorius I.
On his return from the centre of Catholic unity Laserian pleaded
the cause of the Roman practice so powerfully at
another synod in Leighlin that the controversy was
practically ended for the greater part of the country. The list of his successors,
sometimes called abbots and
sometimes bishops,
is practically complete. The cathedral of Leighlin was
built about the middle of the twelfth century in the plainest Gothic, to
replace the original church of wood. It was plundered several times both
by the Danes and by the native chieftains, and the
great religious establishments of Sletty
and Killeshin shared the same fate. In the reign of Henry
VIII it was seized by the Reformers,
was made a Protestant church,
and has continued as such ever since. The sufferings of the Catholics were
so intense during the persecutions which raged over Ireland for
more than two centuries, that towards the end but a remnant of the clergy remained.
What the number of the clergy was
in these dioceses before
the Reformation,
we cannot say for certain; but from the ecclesiastical ruins
we have the means of forming a fair estimate. Over these dioceses,
at the present day, there lie scattered the mouldering ruins of
240 churches and 63 religious
houses, bearing mute but eloquent testimony to
the persecutions borne by the Catholics,
and to the numbers of the clergy who
suffered banishment or death. Nor were these convents small
or unimportant; there were many large monasteries of
the different religious orders,
including the four great Cistercian Abbeys of Abbeyleix, Baltinglass, Duiske,
and Monasterevan. The abbey church of Duiske,
Graignamanagh, is one of the few abbey churches at
present in possession of their rightful owners, and actually devoted to the
service of the old religion. There were eight round towers in these dioceses,
two of which are still entire, Kildare and Timahoe. The earthen
rampart of the Pale can be traced for a mile between Clane and
Clongowes College.

St. Laserian, Called
Molaisse,
Bishop of Leighlin, in
Ireland
LASERIAN was son of
Cairel and Blitha, persons of great distinction, who intrusted his education,
from his infancy, to the Abbot St. Murin. He afterwards travelled to Rome in
the days of Pope Gregory the Great, by whom he is said to have been ordained priest.
Soon after his return to Ireland, he visited Leighlin, a place situated a mile
and a half westward of the river Barrow, where St. Goban was then abbot, who,
resigning to him his abbacy, built a little cell for himself and a small number
of monks. A great synod being soon after assembled there, in the White Fields,
St. Laserian strenuously maintained the Catholic time of celebrating Easter
against St. Munnu. This council was held in March 630. But St. Laserian not
being able to satisfy in it all his opponents, took another journey to Rome,
where Pope Honorius ordained him bishop, without allotting him any particular
see, and made him his legate in Ireland. Nor was his commission fruitless: for,
after his return, the time of observing Easter was reformed in the south parts
of Ireland. St. Laserian died on the 18th of April, 638, and was buried in his
own church which he had founded. In a synod held at Dublin, in 1330, the feasts
of St. Patrick, St. Laserian, St. Bridget, St. Canic, and St. Edan, are enumerated
among the double festivals through the province of Dublin. St. Laserian was the
first bishop of Old Leighlin, now a village.—New Leighlin stands on the eastern
bank of the river Barrow. See Ware, p. 54, and Colgan’s MSS. on the 18th of
April.

Calendar
of Scottish Saints – Saint Laserian or Molios, Abbot, A.D. 639
Article
This saint was of
princely race in Ireland. He seems to have been brought to Scotland at an early
age, and to have been sent to Ireland for his education. Later on he returned to
Scotland for a life of sanctity and solitude. A small island in the bay of
Lamlash, off the coast of Arran, became his abode for many years. His virtues
gave it the name it still bears of Holy Island.
Saint Laserian seems to
have made a pilgrimage to Rome, where he was raised to the priest hood.
Returning to Ireland, he afterwards became abbot of the monastery of Leighlin.
He is said to have espoused with much zeal the Roman usage with regard to
Easter.
In Holy Island, which was
so long his solitary abode, are still to be seen traces of his residence. A
cave scooped out of the rock bears his name, and a rocky ledge is called “Saint
Molio’s Bed.” A spring of clear water near the cave is also pointed out as the
saint’s well, and miraculous properties have been attributed to it. The cave
itself is marked with many pilgrims crosses.

San Lasreano o
Molasso Abate
Festa: 18 aprile
† 638
La sua agiografia,
intrecciata di fatti e miracoli, narra la sua ascesa da nobile irlandese a
sacerdote e abate, verosimilmente a Leighlin, nella contea di Carlow. La sua
fama si lega indissolubilmente al suo ruolo di pioniere del rito romano della
Pasqua in Irlanda. In un'epoca in cui la Chiesa irlandese divergea da Roma
sulla datazione della festività, Lasreano si fece paladino della tradizione
romana, viaggiando instancabilmente per l'isola per convincere il clero e il
popolo della sua superiorità. Il suo zelo apostolico portò a un graduale
cambiamento, con l'adozione del rito romano in tutta l'Irlanda. L'influenza di
Lasreano si estese oltre i confini irlandesi, come testimoniato dalle sue
lettere e scritti teologici conservati in antichi manoscritti. La sua morte è
avvenuta nel 638.
Martirologio
Romano: A Leighlin in Irlanda, san Láisren o Molaise, abate, che diffuse
pacificamente nell’isola il rito romano della celebrazione pasquale.
Le informazioni su San Lasreano (conosciuto anche come Molasso o Molaise), un abate irlandese del VII secolo, sono frammentarie e spesso confuse con quelle di altri santi omonimi. La sua agiografia, scritta secoli dopo la sua morte, mescola fatti storici con leggende e miracoli.
Secondo la tradizione, Lasreano nacque in una famiglia nobile irlandese e ricevette la sua formazione monastica in un monastero irlandese. Venne ordinato sacerdote e in seguito divenne abate di un monastero, probabilmente situato a Leighlin, nella contea di Carlow.
La fama di San Lasreano è principalmente legata al suo ruolo nella diffusione del rito romano della celebrazione pasquale in Irlanda. All'epoca, la Chiesa irlandese seguiva un calendario diverso da quello romano per la celebrazione della Pasqua. Lasreano, convinto della superiorità del rito romano, viaggiò per tutta l'Irlanda per promuoverne l'adozione.
L'opera di San Lasreano ebbe un grande successo e il rito romano divenne gradualmente la norma in Irlanda. La sua influenza si estese anche al di fuori dell'Irlanda e le sue lettere e i suoi scritti teologici sono ancora oggi conservati in alcuni manoscritti antichi.
San Lasreano morì nel 638 e fu sepolto nel monastero di Leighlin. La sua memoria è stata venerata per secoli e il suo nome è stato incluso nel Martirologio Romano al 18 aprile.

Den hellige Laserian av
Leighlin (~566-639)
Minnedag:
18. april
Den hellige Laserian
(Laisren, Lasrán; lat: Laserianus, Lasreanus, Lasrianus, Lasrenus, Lacerianus,
Lafrianus, Lasserianus) ble født rundt år 566 i Nord-Irland. Han knyttes enten
til en obskur stammegruppe ved navn Maca Iomdha eller til en ledende gren av
Ulaidh fra Down. Han skal ha vært sønn av adelsmannen Cairel (Cairellus) eller
Coireall Cruaidh («den harde») og hans hustru Blitha eller Geamma – hun kalles
også Maithgheam (Mathgemm, Malthgemme), det vil si «gode edelsten» (bona
gemma). Hun var datter av Aidan (Aodhán), sønn av kong Gabrán (Gabhrán) av Dál
Riata i Skottland (537-58). Aidan ble selv konge av Dál Riata (574-607), men
etter farens død i 558 måtte han i over førti år leve i eksil i den irske
provinsen Ulster, hvor datteren giftet seg. Aidan skal også ha vært far til den
hellige biskop Blane
av Kingarth (d. ca 590), som dermed var Laserians onkel på morssiden.
En kilde sier at Laserian var bror av den hellige Goban Gobhnena,
og han skal også ha vært bror av Baodán (Báetán mac Cairill), som var konge av
Ulaid i Ulster fra rundt 572 til sin død i 581.
Laserian er trolig
identisk med den hellige Lamliss (Lamlis), som oppgis å ha minnedag 3. mars, og
han er også kjent under kjælenavnet «Mo Laise» eller Molaise (Molaisse), som i Skottland
har blitt til Molios. Lite er kjent om hans liv, men han æres både i Skottland
og Irland.
Laserians biografi er
bevart i fragmentarisk form i Codex Salamanticensis. Biografen hevdet
at han hadde mirakuløse evner allerede ved fødselen. For eksempel skal en
blindfødt som vasket seg med guttens badevann, ha fått synet tilbake. Videre
forteller biografien at Laserian skal ha tilbrakt sine første syv år i morens
hjemland Skottland, og som ung mann bodde han som eremitt på Holy Isle i
Lamlash Bay i Firth of Clyde utenfor Arran. Denne øya var senere senteret for
hans kult i Skottland. Mens han var der, skal han ha imponert biskop Blane av
Dunblane, som altså beskrives som hans onkel. Andre kilder skriver at hans
adelige foreldre betrodde hans oppdragelse til den hellige Murin av Fahan
(Murin McFeredach).
Da Laserian vendte
tilbake til Irland, ble han sendt for å få utdannelse under den hellige Fintan Munnu av
Taghmon (d. ca 635), trolig i Taghmon, hvor han utførte ulike
mirakler. Da han vokste opp, ville folket ha ham til konge, så for å unnslippe
verdslig heder dro han da for å leve et eremittisk liv på en øy mellom
Skottland (Scotia) og Wales (Britannia), kanskje Isle of Man.
Deretter dro Laserian rundt 598 til Roma, hvor han ble i fire år og fulgte den
hellige pave Gregor
I den stores (590-604) forelesninger om Bibelen og kirkelige institusjoner.
Deretter påstår biografien noe usannsynlig at paven vigslet ham til diakon og
prest, konsekrerte ham til biskop og sendte ham tilbake til Irland for å
forkynne.
Da Laserian kom tilbake
til Irland, ble han ført av en engel til Leighlin, nå Oldleighlin
(Leithghleann; lat: Lethglinensis) i baroniet Idrone West i grevskapet Carlow i
den østlige provinsen Leinster. Den tidligere beboeren der, Gobán, som ellers
hevdes å være skytshelgen for Killamery, sluttet en union med ham (fraternitas) før
han forlot stedet. Denne Goban skal altså ha vært Laserians bror.
Laserian bygde seg en
celle i Leighlin og samlet disipler rundt seg. Han ble abbed etter Goban i
Leighlin. Hans ry skal ha vært så stort at han skal ha vært leder for opptil
1 500 munker og dermed oppfylte profetier som ble lagt i munnen på Patrick
og den hellige Canice
av Aghaboe (Cainneach) (ca 516-ca 600). Han skal også ha sluttet en
pakt med en biskop ved navn Barrus, trolig den hellige Finbarr av Cork (ca
560-ca 610), som ønsket å besøke Roma, og like før teksten i biografien
avbrytes, skal Laserian ha samtykket i en anmodning fra en Ciarán, antakelig
den hellige Kieran
av Saighir (d. ca 530), og andre om å reise til Roma.
En tradisjon vil ha det
til at han grunnla klosteret på Inishmurray i grevskapet Sligo, og derfor
kalles han noen ganger Laserian av Inishmurray, men dette synes å være en
sammenblanding med en annen Molaise (den hellige Molaise av Devenish)
(Laserian McNadfrech eller mac Nadfraech) (d. 563), for klostret ble grunnlagt
århundret før.
Laserian var en
forkjemper for den romerske beregningsmåten for påsken, og skal praktisk talt
ha avgjort dette stridsspørsmålet i det sørlige Irland på den nasjonale synoden
i Whitefield i mars 630 (Synoden i Magh Ailbhe), der han, den hellige Cummian av Clonfert og
andre kjempet for å forlate den keltiske beregningsmåten for påsken og anta den
romerske. På grunn av motstanden fra slike begavete menn som hans gamle lærer
Fintan Munnu hevdes det at Laserian og en delegasjon reiste til Roma for å
samle bevis for å kunne avgjøre kontroversen. Som et resultat av delegasjonens
rapport aksepterte alle klostrene bortsett fra Kolumbas den romerske måten i
633. Laserians biograf hevder nokså pretensiøst at Laserian i forbindelse med
reisen ble utnevnt til «pavelig legat» av pave Honorius I (625-38). Noen kilder
sier at han først ved dette besøket i Roma ble bispeviet av paven.
En legende forteller at
Laserian frivillig aksepterte å bli syk forårsaket av tretti sykdommer på en
gang, som soning for sine synder og for å unngå skjærsilden etter døden, og
dette forklarer delvis hans moderne kult. Den har sitt senter i Inishmurray,
hvor det er betydelige klosterruiner og en serie av bønnestasjoner. I Skottland
finnes en eneboerhule som bærer hans navn på Holy Island i Lamlash Bay utenfor
Arran.
En hellig kilde i
Leighlin var i mange århundrer assosiert med hans kult. Den ble restaurert i
1914 etter at en lokal bonde hevdet å være helbredet på Laserians forbønn ved å
bruke vann fra kilden, og et gammelt steinkors ble gjenreist. Etter det ble
stedet et valfartsmål igjen.
Laserian døde en 18.
april rundt 639, angivelig av den dødelige effekten av å se øyebrynet til
Moshiona av Emlagh. Han ble helligkåret ved at hans kult ble stadfestet den 19.
juni 1902 (gruppen «Albert, Asicus og Carthagus,
biskoper, og deres 22 irske ledsagere») av pave Leo XIII (1878-1903). Hans
minnedag er 18. april og han feires i hele Irland som biskop av Leighlin. Det
er klart at Laserian var biskop, enten av Leighlin eller uten noe fast
bispedømme.
På en synode i Dublin i
1330 ble festene for de hellige Patrick,
Laserian og Brigida regnet
opp blant de doble festene som skulle feires i hele provinsen Dublin. Dagen ble
også feiret ved kilden som var oppkalt etter ham i kirken Lorum (Leamhdhruim) i
grevskapet Carlow, som også var assosiert med den hellige Kolumba av Terryglass
og andre. Vannet i hans kilde i Leighlin, vanligvis kalt Melashee etter
ham, skulle ha den mirakuløse evnen å finne sannheten.
Laserians kirke ble valgt
på synoden i Rathbreasail i 1111 som et av bispesetene i Leinster, trolig på
grunn av de gode forbindelsene som da hersket mellom Uí Riain kongene av Uí
Dhróna (Idrone) og Muirecheartach Ua Briain, som innkalte synoden. Bispedømmet
Leighlin ble innlemmet i bispedømmet Kildare i 1678 under trengselstidene som
fulgte etter reformasjonen. St Laserian's Cathedral i Old Leighlin, tidligere
katedral for bispedømmet Leighlin, er nå en av de seks katedralkirkene i det
anglikanske bispedømmet Cashel and Ossory i The Church of Ireland.
Navnet Laserian betyr
«lys», og Molaise er et kjælenavn. Molaise er opprinnelig en utledning
fra lasar («flamme»), som utviklet den hypokoristiske formen
(kjælenavn) laisse, og denne versjonen av navnet viste seg å bli populær,
med over førti representanter på listen over homonyme helgener. Selv om de
fleste av disse ellers er ukjente, kan noen identifiseres gjennom referanser
til andre deler av de hagiografiske arkiver. Dette gjelder dem som er utstyrt
med patronymikon (navn avledet av farens navn) som Colmán, Fearadhach
og Lughaidh, som alle er bedre kjent under aliaset Laisréan (Lasrán). Mange
andre var utvilsomt lokale versjoner av skytshelgenene for Leighlin og
Devenish, de mest kjente helgener ved navn Molaise/Laserian.
