Life

Holy Hierarch Findia of Magh Bile is commemorated on 11 February (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Gorman. He is called a bishop of Magh Bile, of the race of Fiatach Finn; an ancient book says he was like the apostle James in manners and life. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
