He is one of the semi-legendary Irish saints who pops up in various guises in various places, the Co Monaghan saint being merely one of a number of manifestations of his cult. It is often impossible to disentangle the different stories and personalities in these kind of cases. Ó Riain gives June 1 as the feast day of the Killevan saint and Canon O'Hanlon has an entry for him on that day in Vol 6 of his Lives of the Irish Saints. So I will try to get a post ready on him for that date and see what else I can find out for you. Good luck with the folklore project.Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02234781374292930330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163145857211344412.post-3674910982537307832016-05-13T03:33:58.117+01:002016-05-13T03:33:58.117+01:00I have spent the past five years collecting folklo...I have spent the past five years collecting folklore from the oldest people alive in Dartry, in Co. Monaghan. I would like to cross-reference some information on a local saint; St. Laobháin of Killeevan. Is it possible that you could do a little piece on him, since there exists very little information as far as I can find. He appears to have been the metalworker of St. Patrick, according to local tradition. If you can find anything, please email me at: seanmacbradaigh@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
