Life
Holy Hierarch Criotan is listed on 17 May (Old Style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, as a bishop; the year of repose given is 638. A later hand adds the place, Aondruim, and the year. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.
