Life

Saint Croidan was one of the three disciples of Saint Petroc in Cornwall, together with Medan and Degan, in the sixth century. The sources say no more of him.

The three are commemorated together on 4 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (saints of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
