His hair fell out in patches, and he worked as a shepherd. Comgall of Bangor happening to visit Becan's house, and finding Mo Chua neglected by the family, took him with him to Bangor to educate him.Grattan-Flood, William. "Cronan."

Crónán Of Roscrea
Saint Crónán (died 640) was the abbot-bishop and patron of the diocese of Roscrea (a Episcopal see, see later incorporated into the diocese of Killaloe), Ireland. He is not to be confused with his contemporary Mo Chua of Balla, Saint Crónán Mochua (died 637). Life Crónán was born in the territory of Ely O'Carroll, Ireland. His father’s name was Odhran, while his mother came from west Clare. After spending his youth in Connacht, he returned to his native district about the year 610 and founded Roscrea Abbey, where he established a school. Previously he settled at a place known as Sean Ros or Loch Cré, which was a wooded morass far from the haunts of men; in fact, it was utterly wild, so much so, that pilgrims would get lost, so St. Crónán abandoned it and moved to the wood of Cré, that is Roscrea, Ros Cré, County Tipperary. William Reeves (bishop), William Reeves notes that the ''Annals of Tigernach'' and the ''Annals of Ulster'' both describe Crónán as "bishop of ...

Saint Cronan's Boys' National School
Saint Cronan's Boys' National School ( ga, Scoil Chrónáin Naofa) is a national school located in Vevay Crescent, just off the Vevay Road in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. It is the oldest primary school in Bray, having been founded in 1820 as Bray Male School. The school is named in honour of Saint Cronan, whose feast day falls on 28 April. As of 2022, there are approximately 420 boys in the school, aged from 6 to 13 years (first through sixth classes). History In 1820, a small number of cottages on Seapoint Road in Bray are believed to have been the site of the first Bray Male Parochial School. It opened on 20 July 1820 and the boys stayed in these premises until 1880. Due to increasing pupil numbers, Bray Male School moved from its original home on Seapoint Road to the Little Flower Hall beside the Holy Redeemer Church off the Main Street in Bray in October 1880. Bray Male School moved again in 1931; this time, the school found a new home in a new building on the Vevay ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Temple Cronan
Temple Cronan is a ruined medieval oratory or chapel built near a holy well in the Burren, County Clare, Ireland. The current building apparently dates from the 12th and 15th centuries, although it may partly incorporate earlier buildings or some of the masonry thereof. It may have been the site of an early Christian monastery. Temple Cronan is located in the civil parish of Carran, eight miles from Corofin and about sixteen miles from Ennis. History Some have argued on the basis of the existing visible structures that Temple Cronan was originally built to serve as a pagan temple. The current building had a window on the eastern wall as well as a small "Cyclopean" doorway on the west side, which is currently blocked by rubble. More conventional archaeologists see an early Christian (i.e. pre-12th-century) structure that was likely rebuilt or altered in the 12th and 15th centuries. It probably replaced one, perhaps of wood, set up under the reputed founder in the 7th century, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
