Life

On 24 April (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Saint Egneach of the Seven Reliquaries. Donegal calls him son of Cucathrach; the epithet "of the seven reliquaries" stands in the edition beside the neighbouring entry, that of Seachtan Seacht, and Gorman names him Ecnech. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Nothing else is known of the life, and no synodal canonization stands behind the veneration.

Commemorated the same day April 24
