Life
Holy Hierarch Bearchan of Cluain Sosta is commemorated on 4 December (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrologies of Tallaght and Gorman. He is called a bishop and apostle of God, of Cluain Sosta in Ui Failghe. He bore the second name Ferdaleithe, since he spent half his life in Alba and half in Ireland. The sources say no more; the name is kept by the undivided Church.
