Luchtigern ((ラテン語:Luctigernus)) was an early Christian leader who was active in Ireland in the 6th century, and has been recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. ==Life== According to ''The Martyrology of Donegal'' Luchtigern's mother was Brigh, daughter of Forannan, son of Conall, son of Tochtan, son of Amhalgaidh, sister of Maelaithghin. He was a disciple of Saint Ruadhán of Lorrha. He appears to be a different person from Luchern or Luctigern, a disciple of Saint Comgall at Bangor. Luchtigern presided over the abbey of Ennistymon, which has since disappeared without trace. An old ruined church in the Ennistymon burial ground, although more recent, most likely marks the location of the abbey. Luchtigern resigned the apostleship of Ennistymon to Saint Mainchín. Luchtigern was also connected with Corcomroe Abbey, and seems to have had authority over all of Thomond or North Munster. Luchtigern is mentioned in the life of Saint Mac Creiche, who died in 541. At this time Luchtigern was connected with Ennistymon and Corcomroe. He accompanied MacCreiche to Carn Mic Táil to give advice to the Corca Modruadh and Tuadhmhumhain people over a tribute of cattle that the king of Connaught was demanding. Luchtigern's main church would have been at ''Tuam Fionnlocha'' in the barony of Upper Bunratty. Tuamfinlough is the oldest known settlement in the region of Newmarket-on-Fergus. He is commemorated in the Feast of St. Luchtigern on 29 April, the date when he became abbot of ''Tuam Fionnlocha''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luchtigern」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
