Saint of the Day – 21 June – Saint Suibhne of Cobran (c670- c730) Bishop

Posted on by AnaStpaul

Saint of the Day – 21 June – Saint Suibhne of Cobran (c670- c730) Bishop of Armagh, Ireland from 715 to 21 June 730. Died on 21 June c 730 of natural causes.
Also known as – Suibhne of Armagh,Suibhne In-Sui, Suibhney…
Suibne…Suivney…

Saint Suibhne depicted in the Lichfield Gospels,

The Martyrology of Tallagh, an ancient Irish text which lists the Saints venerated by the Irish Church, mentions Saint Suibhne as the Bishop of Cobran, a Diocese which unfortunately has not been identified with certainty. This mention, although valuable, provides no further details about his life or Episcopate.

However, modern hagiographers propose an alternative identification – Saint Suibhne as the Bishop of Armagh, one of the most important Episcopal sees of medieval Ireland. This hypothesis is based on a genealogy reported in the records of Armagh which indicates him as the son of Crundmáel mac Rónáin. These records also places him as the Bishop from 715 to 730, the year of his death.

Regardless of his Episcopal seat, Suibhne is commemorated on 21 June, the day dedicated to his memory. His veneration, attested by several hagiographic sources, suggests a significant role in the religious life of medieval Ireland. However, the lack of concrete details about his life and works, makes it difficult to fully understand the nature and extent of his cult.
