Life

Saint Saran appears on 20 January (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. The text suggests this may be the Saran who consecrated Tigh Saran in Dealbhna, of the race of Dealbhaeth. Little else is known of the life, and the undivided Church keeps the name.
