Saint of the Day – 24 July – Saint Declan (5th Century) Bishop

Posted on by AnaStpaul

Saint of the Day – 24 July – Saint Declan (5th Century) the 1st Bishop of Ardmore, county Waterford, Ireland. Born in the 5th Century at Desi, Waterford, Ireland and more than likely died at his See in Ardmore. Patronages – Ardmore, the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore.

Declan preached in Ireland before the arrival of Saint Patrick.
It is likely that Declan was the first Bishop of Ardmore which was certainly an Episcopal See and an important Ecclesiastical centre in ancient times.

The content of his Acts is highly uncertain but they at least testify to the extraordinary veneration with which Declan was surrounded in Ardmore and the surrounding area. This devotion has endured to the present day, especially on his Feastday which is still celebrated, when Ardmore becomes the centre of numerous pilgrimages. Particularly to pray at St Declan’s Holy Well for his holy aid.

A significant collection of testimonies of early eEclesiastical life is also preserved here and it is possible that the oldest fragments date to Declan’s time.
