Life
On 7 April (Old Style) the Martyrology of Donegal records Saint Ruisen of Inis Picht. Donegal says he is the same as Ross, son of Trichem, of the line of Fiatach Fionn, king of Ireland; an editor identifies Inis Picht with Spike Island. The same name also appears in the Martyrology of Tallaght and Gorman's martyrology. Veneration is that of the medieval Irish calendars, without synodal canonization, and the sources are silent on the rest.
