Who is your patron saint? Match your name to the Irish holy day

Clare, we're in the same boat, you & I. Therefore I'm claiming the saint who has the day ahead of my birthday, Maeve (wasn't she a pagan queen though? I wonder if it's the same gal). BTW, I've never heard of most of these Irish saints. Same thing when you drive through Cornwall, many place names are called after obscure Celtic saints.

Did I read this wrong? My birthday is March 15, but there is no saint listed for that day..........

Gee! St. Bogside Bunny. You've got a wicked sense of humour. Must be that Norn Iron painstipping humour characteristic of Ulsterites. Whatever about the nails, Jeshua's/Jesus's father was a carpenter, wasn't he? Ya always need to be careful about what your old man does for a living. The opposite of saint is sinner, not devil. Devil's are serious sinners. Anyway, these are all orthodox or canonical saints. What about SS Thomas/Philip/-Mary (Magdalen) - (Jesus's wife & mother of his children - Sarah and Michael.

Have they such a thing as patron devils?

I never knew there were 6 feast days attributed to St. Suibhne, I wonder if they mean 6 different saints?

My favorite Irish saint legend is that of St. Kevin. Although I am sure many priests told it with great earnestness I detect an irreverent Irish humor in the legend. ... St. Kevin, dedicated to celibate chastity went up a mountain in Wicklow to live far from temptation and temptresses. But a lovely young woman would climb up ebery day to tempt to the carnal delights. Finally, in his devotion to his chastity, he killed her. Then, realizing he had committed the sin of murder, committed suicide. The old habit of reading the lives of the saints presented saints as examples of one big virtue, so they had no problem with the murder and suicide since Kevin showed an exceptionally devotion to celibate chastity.

Me three! Something's a miss.

Mine neither... perhaps there should be a link included to somewhere on the Net that translates today's names to the Irish version!!

can't find my called name ... Egit
