Caernan

Caernan

is an Irish saint, commemorated Jan. 31. Among the disciples and relatives of St. Columba is enumerated “Cairnaan, filius Branduib, filii Meilgi,” as coming with St. Columba on his first visit to Britain. But there is no proof to show whether the Cairnaan thus named is the Caernan of Jan. 31, or -he of Cluain each commemorated April 28
