One day, when Finnian has convened the saints for a feast, a large magical flower from the Land of Promise (Tír Tairngire) appears to them.

Legendarium Bodecense
prose

A late medieval legendary written at the monastery of Böddeken (Kreis Paderborn). It is thought to have been a substantial collection, spanning twelve volumes for each month of the year, although little of it survives today. Those for February, June, August and November appear to have been lost when Bollandist scholar H. Moretus produced his catalogue description (1908). Those for December and a part of March were later found together in a manuscript at Paderborn. Most of the volumes which Moretus was able to consult were held in Münster, but they were destroyed by fire in 1945, leaving the Paderborn MS (March, December) and a manuscript (October), together with a single leaf (June), in Schloss Erpernburg as the last physical remains of the collection.

Since Plummer published his edition in 1910, the Latin designation Vitae sanctorum Hiberniae is sometimes used to refer to these collectively.
