Life

Holy Hierarch Easconn of Bo Chluain is commemorated on 20 November (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrologies of Oengus and Gorman. He is called a bishop, together with the bishop Fraechan, of Bo Chluain in Laoighis, east of Cluain Eidhneach, or of Inis mac Earca. The sources say no more; the name is kept by the undivided Church.
