Life
Saint Dagan (Daganus) was an Irish monk of the 6th century, a disciple of Saint Petroc, beside whom Saints Cruidan and Medan are also commemorated. The three reposed in peace.
The Greek synaxarion honors all three on 4 June, the same day as Saint Petroc, by the Western calendar (new style). No other details of Dagan's life are preserved in the sources at hand. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
