Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Venerable Helias of Mucnamh on 11 April (Old Style). Donegal says Helias is the same name as Ailell, that he was abbot of the monastery of Saint Martin at Cologne, and that he belonged to the family of Mucnamh. No other calendar consulted has an entry for this name. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.

Commemorated the same day April 11
