Life

Saint Aedhan of Cill Aedhain is listed on 1 April (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal. Donegal and a gloss in Gorman place Cill Aedhain in Ulster. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Veneration rests on the Irish tradition, without synodal canonization, and the sources say no more.

Commemorated the same day April 1
