ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY
Saints celebrated on the 22nd of February
MAELBRIGHTE, ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH
Kelly* lists Maelbrighte (Mael-Brighte) without the designation "saint." He is also called Moelbrigidus, Maolbrigidus, Moëlbrigidius, Maelbrigidus, Malbrigidus, Brigidunus, Brigidanus. Installed on the chair of Saint Patrick (Patricius) in A.D. 925, he is praised as a man full of the grace of God, as a repository of all the learning and wisdom of his time, as the glory of Europe, as the head of religion in Ireland (Kelly, p. 77).
