This is a list of the saints of Ireland, which attempts to give an overview of saints from Ireland or venerated in Ireland. The vast majority of these saints lived during the 4th–10th centuries, the period of early Christian Ireland, when Celtic Christianity produced many missionaries to Great Britain and the European continent. For this reason, Ireland in a 19th-century adage is described as "the land of saints and scholars". The introduction of Christianity into Ireland was during the end of the 4th century. Its exact introduction is obscure, though the strict ascetic nature of monasticism in Ireland derives from the Desert Fathers. Although there were some Christians in Ireland before him, Patrick, a native of Roman Britain, played a significant role in its full Christianisation. Some of the most well known saints are Saint Patrick, Colmcill, Brigid of Kildare and the Twelve Apostles of Ireland. After 1000, the prerogative of naming saints was granted exclusively to Rome, ...

Abel Of Reims
Abel (''fl''. 744–747) served as the Bishop of Reims in Francia, now modern-day France.Costambeys, "Abel (''fl''. 744–747)" He has sometimes been venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, particularly by the Bollandists. Origins In the late 10th century, Folcuin wrote that Abel had been a monk in Lobbes Abbey (modern day Belgium) while Bishop Ermino (d. 737) served as abbot, and had been born in Ireland. In contrast Boniface, in a letter to a priest in the English kingdom of Mercia, insisted that Abel had in fact been born and raised in England. The modern historian Wilhelm Levison has suggested there were two individuals with the same name, but Eugen Ewig accepts the identification by Boniface as more accurate. If Folcuin's later testimony has any basis in reality, it may be that Abel, like his near contemporary Ecgberht (d. 729), had once visited Ireland and formed a close association. Bishop of Reims In March 744, Boniface presided over the Council of Soissons and th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Adomnán Of Coldingham
Adomnán or Adamnán of Iona (, la, Adamnanus, Adomnanus; 624 – 704), also known as Eunan ( ; from ), was an abbot of Iona Abbey ( 679–704), hagiographer, statesman, canon jurist, and saint. He was the author of the ''Life of Columba'' ( la, Vita Columbae), probably written between 697 and 700. This biography is by far the most important surviving work written in early-medieval Scotland, and is a vital source for our knowledge of the Picts, and an insight into the life of Iona and the early-medieval Gaelic monk. Adomnán promulgated the Law of Adomnán or "Law of Innocents" ( la, Lex Innocentium). He also wrote the treatise ('On Holy Places'), an account of the great Christian holy places and centres of pilgrimage. Adomnán got much of his information from a Frankish bishop called Arculf, who had personally visited Egypt, Rome, Constantinople and the Holy Land, and visited Iona afterwards. Life Adomnán was born about 624, a relative on his father's side of C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
