Life
Eithne and Feidhelm were two Irish Christian women of the fifth century, the daughters of King Lóegaire mac Néill. One day they met Saint Patrick by the well of Clebach. He told them about Christianity, and they decided to convert. Saint Patrick baptised them both, and both received their first communion from his hands. They died in the year 433.
A church was built over their grave. Their feast is on 11 January. They are honoured in Ireland; the source shows no synodal canonization.
