Fetchuon

Fetchuon, also called Fiechnon, Fethuo, Fethchua, Fiechno or Fetno, was a confessor and missionary among the Scots and Picts in the sixth century. He is counted among the disciples of Saint Columba who left Ireland with him to preach the Gospel. He is said to have brought those he baptized back to the piety of the days of Saint Ninian.

Colgan, the Bollandists and Bishop Forbes name him on 12 March; the day follows the Julian calendar. Colgan thinks his true name was Fethchno or Fiechno. He was probably born in the north of Ireland early in the sixth century. Camerarius calls him a confessor, praising his piety, zeal and evangelical labours, and says he died around 580; miracles are said to have occurred at his tomb. He is honoured in the Irish calendars, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
