Life
Saint Lughaidh of Ciarraig is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland as a bishop.
The Donegal text calls him a son of Lucht, bishop of Cuil-Beannchair, on the brink of Loch Erne, and of Rath Muighe-tuaiscirt in Ciarraighe Luachra; another reading gives Cuil-Beannchair in Ui-Failghe and Tuaim-fobhair in Luighne. His mother was Medhbh, daughter of Garbhan, of the Ui-Saithghil of Ciarraighe Luachra.
The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates him on 6 October. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
