Myth of the Monster

• The story : This legend, more and less plausible, began in the year 565 when the Irish monk St. Columbanus would have seen the beast. According to the writings of St. Adamnan, a monk's disciples was in the process of crossing the loch to swim when the monster was suddenly surface with large roars and mouth wide open. They were all subject to increasing terror, but St. Columbanus, after making the sign of the cross and invoked the Almighty would have stopped the momentum of monster with these words: "Do not think to go further or do harm to this man, go away quickly! "The beast obeyed and since that day, Nessie has never hurt anyone.
