Life

Saint Criotan is listed on 11 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal. He is called son of Iolladon and is named with the priest Corbmac; both are venerated at Achadh Finnich on the Dothar in Ui Dunchadha, in eastern Leinster. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Veneration rests on the Irish tradition, without synodal canonization, and the sources say no more.
