Life
Blat is an Irish holy virgin, named in a group with the virgins Anne, Feammor and Scoth. Their fates are hard to verify. Some identify her with Blathnat, a nun in the circle of Saint Brigid in the 6th century. She is commemorated on 18 January. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
