Life
Saint Mac Cuilinn of Lusk (Macculind, Maculinus, Macallan) was an Irish saint of the fifth century, abbot or bishop of Lusk in County Dublin. He is said to have died around 497. His name is a patronymic form linked to the Irish word for holly (cuileann) and has become in English the family names MacCullen and McQuillan. The surviving sources say nothing more of his life. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured locally, without synodal canonization.
