DESCRIPTION:Celbridge Historical Society\n\nTo Members of Celbridge Histori
 cal Society and representatives of Clondalkin\, Timahoe and Rathcoffey his
 tory groups\;\nYou are kindly invited to help us celebrate the St Mochua /
  St Crónán Annual Feast Day event on Wednesday 6 August 2025 at 3pm: in 
 the Maunsell Chapel at Tea Lane Graveyard\, Celbridge.\n\n\n\nOur Chair\,

 or representatives of the Clondalkin\, Rathcoffey and Timahoe history grou

  \n\n*Today the feast days of St Patrick and St Bridget\, who are both re
 cognised as patron saints of Ireland\, are celebrated nationally on 17 Ma
 rch and 1 February respectively.  Until the late medieval period local ea
 rly-Christian missionaries were commemorated on their feast days\, in the 
 form of local festivals. One such 6th century missionary\, St Mochua\, als
 o known as St Crónán\, is acknowledged as the local patron saint of four
  different locations: Celbridge\, Clondalkin\, Rathcoffey and Timahoe. \n
  \nSince the revival in 2004 of an event to mark the feast day of St Moch
 ua / St Crónán on 6 August\, the four districts have taken it in turn to
  hold the event. This year Celbridge is hosting the St Mochua Feast Day e
 vent with a talk in the Maunsell Chapel in Tea Lane Graveyard\, adjacent t
 o the site of the 6th century early Christian Church built by St Mochua.
