Life

Saint Abdia son of Uodach is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland.

The Donegal text calls him a son of Uodach.

The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 8 November. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.

Nothing else about him is preserved in the sources consulted.
