Fanchea
Saint Fanchea of Rossory is a saint recognized by the Church in Wales and the Roman Catholic Church. She was the sister of Saint Enda of Arran, whom she persuaded to become a monk.
Fanchea, accompanied by three of her nuns, once paid a visit to Aran to see how the good work was proceeding. She was much edified by the praying, and fasting, and laboring, and building, and the copying of Latin gospels and missals, all in progress. When she was departing, she would not allow her brother to withdraw a couple of his monks from their labors to row them across to the mainland. "We will," said she, "trust to God for a passage." Coming to the shore, she made the sign of the cross on the water, and spread her cloak on it. The garment at once assumed the qualities of a stout board, and the sisters, each taking her position at a corner, went tranquilly over the rough waters of the bay.〔(Kennedy, Patrick. "St. Fanchea's Visit to Aran", ''Legendary Fictions of the Irish Celts'', 1891 )〕
She died c. 585 of natural causes and is buried at Killane, Ireland. Her feast has been kept in the parish church of Rosairthir, in the diocess of Clogher, in Ulster; and at Kilhaine near Mount Bregh, on the borders of Meath, where her relics have been in veneration.〔(Butler, Alban. ''The Lives of the Saints'', Vol I, 1866 )〕 She is commemorated on January 1.
