Life

Saint Mochonog of Cill Mucraisi is commemorated on 19 December (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Gorman. The text makes his father Bracain, a king of Britain, and his mother Dina, daughter of a king of Saxonland; he is also tied to Gailine in Dealbhna Eathra. The sources say no more; the name is kept by the undivided Church.

Commemorated the same day December 19
