Life

Lassar of Cill Arcalgach appears in the Martyrology of Donegal on 20 August (old style). The text calls her a virgin. She lived on the brink of Loch Lebenn in Meath, of the race of Laeghaire, son of Niall. The same day also carries the name in the Martyrology of Gorman. Little else is known, and no synodal canonization is recorded.
