Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Echi of Cill Glais under 5 August (old style). His mother was Darerca, sister of Patrick; the text also links him with Senlis near Sliabh Badhbhghna. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. No further details survive; the veneration is local, without synodal canonization.
