Modomnoc
St. Modomnóc of Ossory (also ''Domnóc'')(died c. 550) was an Irish saint and missionary in Osraige who was a disciple of St. David of Wales and a member of the O'Neill royal family.〔C. Plummer, Miscellanea Hagiographica Hibernensis, p. 217; B.T.A., i. 322〕 His feast day is February 13.
==Life==
Modomnoc's name is likely to have been Dominic or Donogh but the Irish saints were so tenderly loved that the words "my", ("''mo''") "little" and "dear" were very often added to the names; hence Domnóc's name is often rendered ''mo Domnóc'' or ''Modomnóc''. He left Ireland to train for the priesthood and crossed the sea to Wales to study under St. David at Menevia. All those who resided in the community were expected to share in the manual work as well as the study and worship,〔(Haggerty, Bridget, "The Bees Who would not be Left Behind", Irish Culture and Customs )〕 and there is a story which tells how one day Modomnóc was working with another monk making a road, when he had occasion to rebuke the other for some matter. The other monk was seized with anger and took up a crowbar, but before he could bring it down on Modomnoc, Saint David, who was witness to the incident, stayed his arm by his spiritual powers and it remained paralysed.
