Life
Saint Ultan Tua of Leinster is commemorated on 22 December (old style) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Gorman. He is named together with Iotharnaisc, two saints at Claonadh, a church in Ui Faelain in Leinster. This Ultan is said to have kept a stone in his mouth through Lent so as not to speak at all. The sources say no more; the name is kept by the undivided Church.
