Life

Saint Colum of Ros Glanda is commemorated on 6 September (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Felire of Oengus. Glan is the name of a well older than Patrick; after Patrick blessed it the place was named Domhnach Mor Maighe Imchlair, in Tir Eoghain. Colum was of the race of Laeghaire son of Niall. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.
