Febor

Febor (Faber, Feadhbar) is the patron saint of the Sacred Heart Church in Boho, County Fermanagh, and of Monea, in Ireland. One of the first references to her is in the Martyrology of Oengus the Culdee of Tallaght, estimated to have been written at the beginning of the 9th century, which links her with Boho (Botha) and Tuath Ratha (Tir Ratha) and gives her feast day, 6 November: "Fedbair a virgin of Botha eich uaichnich in Tir ratha". The same link is repeated in the Martyrology of Donegal, of 1630.

A popular myth says that Febor had a tame deer that carried the sacred books entrusted to her. One day, as she was travelling to meet Baron O Phelan at his castle in Boho, the deer was harassed by hunting hounds. To escape, it jumped into the Sillees River and in the process ruined the books. The saint then cursed the river that it would run backwards: it is said that "the river writhed and recoiled", and now its course goes towards upper Lough Erne rather than the sea. Venerated locally, from the time of the undivided Church.
