Life

Bearnosga of Tullylish is a saint named on 12 May in the Irish calendars, linked with Tullylish (Tulach Leis) in County Down. The day follows the Julian calendar.

O'Hanlon (Lives of the Irish Saints, 1875) believes that under this form of the name we should recognise Nasca of Tulach Leis, but he cannot say whether he is the same as Ere (Earc) or another saint; he suspects that the martyrologists confused two different persons. William Reeves found, in another copy of the Martyrology of Donegal, a notice of Bearnosga (Bearnasga) of Tullach-⁠lis in Iveagh in Ulidia. No other details are known. He is honoured in the Irish calendars, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
