Life

Holy Martyr Cronan of Glais Mor is commemorated on 10 February (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Felire of Oengus. He was of Glais Mor in Deisi Mumhan and of Lis Mor. The text says that foreigners from Inbher Domhnann came to his church beside Sord and killed him and all his people in one night, so that they were martyred. The veneration belongs to the undivided Church; nothing else of the life is recorded.

Commemorated the same day February 10
