Life

Saint Kennera (Cinnera, Cannera) lived in the 4th century as an anchoress at Kirk-⁠Kinner in Galloway in Scotland. The sources consulted say nothing of a martyr's death, so the title of martyr in her record is not supported by them. She is a saint of the undivided Church, known from the Western calendars.

She is commemorated on 29 October, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).

Commemorated the same day October 29
