Chuniald and Gislar

Saints Chuniald and Gislar were Irish missionaries of the seventh century, companions of Saint Rupert of Salzburg, with whom they enlightened the south of Germany and Austria. No separate account of their deeds has survived. Most writers hold them to have been born in Ireland around the middle of the seventh century, but some scholars thought that Rupert and his companions were from Gaul.

In 773 or 774 their relics were moved to a church dedicated to Rupert at Salzburg, and were moved again in 993 and 1315. Their feast is kept on 24 September, the day of the translation of the relics, and some martyrologies also mention Chuniald on 27 February. They are commemorated as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
