Lusk, Dublin
Lusk () is a small town in Fingal, Ireland. The town is located about north of Dublin city centre. Toponymy The name "Lusk" is said to date back to Saint MacCullin, who founded a church there c. 450. Oral tradition suggests MacCullin may have either lived in or been buried in a cave and that the name "Lusk" derives from an old Irish word ''Lusca'' meaning 'cave' or 'underground chamber'. MacCullin died in c. 497 and his feast day was 6 September. The area was known as Bregia in pre-Christian times and was said to have been the birthplace of Cú Chulainn's wife, Emer in Irish mythology. History The settlement of Lusk has been associated with St. MacCullin since c. AD 450. The place also had associations with St. Maur, who nowadays connects with Rush (RosEo). The ruins of St. Maur's original church, or more likely its later replacement, are at the top of Whitestown hill, firmly in the parish of Rush. Lusk was plundered and burned several times in the 8th and 9th centuries by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
