Life
Saint Rathnat of Cill Raith is an Irish saint of the undivided Church, remembered in the old martyrologies of Ireland.
The Donegal text gives her name also as Raghnaid and says, following a poem, that she was of the race of Corbmac Gas, son of Oilioll Olum.
The Martyrology of Donegal, compiled in 1630 from older sources, commemorates her on 5 August. The Martyrology of Tallaght, from the early ninth century, lists a similar name on the same day. The date is that of the old Irish calendar, that is, in the old style.
No further details of her life survive in the sources consulted.
