Life
Saint Luchair of Cill Elgraighe is commemorated on 23 December (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrologies of Tallaght and Gorman. A note says he was killed by his father Diarmait in the sanctuary of Cenannas in Meath, and later raised to life by Becan. Nothing more is recorded; the cult belongs to the undivided Church.
