Life
Saint Osnat (also called Asnad) is an Irish virgin, a saint of the undivided Church. The Martyrology of Donegal commemorates her on 10 November as a virgin of the race of Eoghan, son of Niall. The same martyrology has another Osnat on 6 January, one of the three sisters of Molaisse of Damhinis; it cannot be said whether she is the same person.
No further details of her life survive in the sources consulted. The date of 10 November is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
