Caomhán of Inisheer

Caomhán of Inisheer is a 6th-century Irish saint whose feast day is 14 June. Caomhan is the patron saint of Inisheer (Irish: Inis Oírr), the smallest of the Aran Islands. Even though he is "by far the most celebrated of all the saints of the Aran Islands", little is known about him. He is said to have been a disciple of Saint Enda of Aran. He is also said to be the elder brother of Saint Kevin of Glendalough although no corresponding legend exists in County Wicklow to support this claim.
