Modomnoc
St. Modomnóc of Ossory (also ''Domnóc'' and ''Dominic'') (died c. 550) was an Irish saint and missionary in Osraige who was a disciple of St. David of Wales and a member of the O'Neill royal family. His feast day is February 13. Life Modomnoc's name is likely to have been Dominic or Donogh, as the words "my", ("''mo''") "little" and "dear" were added to Irish saint's names; hence Domnóc's name is often rendered ''mo Domnóc'' or ''Modomnóc''. He left Ireland to practice priesthood and crossed the sea to Wales to study under St. David at Menevia. Beekeeper One of the best known stories regarding Saint Modomnoc concerns his work as a beekeeper. Bees were kept both for their honey and the production of mead. He was never stung.

Confessor Of The Faith
Confessor of the Faith is a title given by some Christian denominations. Etymology The word confessor is derived from the Latin ''confiteri'', to confess, to profess. Among the early church fathers, it was a title of honor, designating those individuals who had confessed Christ publicly in time of persecution and had been punished with imprisonment, torture, exile, or labour in the mines, remaining faithful until the end of their lives. The title thus distinguished them from the martyrs, who were those that had undergone death for their faith. Among writers, St. Cyprian is the first in whose works it occurs. Western Christianity In the Roman Catholic Church, the title is given to saints and blesseds who were not martyred. Historically, the title Confessor was given to those who had suffered persecution and torture for the faith but not to the point of martyrdom. As Christianity emerged as the dominant religion in Europe by the fifth century, persecutions became rare, and the tit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
