Facts and practical information

Saint Caomhán, anglicised as Cavan, sometimes Kevin, is the patron saint of Inisheer, the smallest of the Aran Islands. Not Saint Kevin but his brother St Caomhán. 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, which would place him in the 6th century, but his death date has also been recorded as 865. ()
