Íte Of Killeedy
Íte ingen Chinn Fhalad (died 570–577), also known as Íde, Ita, Ida or Ides, was an early Irish nun and patron saint of Killeedy (Cluain Creadhail). She was known as the "foster mother of the saints of Erin". The name "Ita" ("thirst for holiness") was conferred on her because of her saintly qualities. Her feast day is 15 January. Life Ita, called the "Brigit of Kildare, Brigid of Munster", was born in 480 in the present County Waterford. Her father was Cennfoelad or Confhaola and her mother was Necta. Cennfoelad was descended from Felim the lawgiver, King of Tara. An account of her life in the ''Codex Kilkenniensis'', follows the example of Brigit in describing the opposition Íte meets in pursuit of her vocation. Genealogies of the saints go so far as to make Íte's mother, Necht, a daughter of Dallbrónach, and therefore a sister of Brigit's mother. She was baptised as Deirdre and grew up near Decies-without-Drum, Drum, County Waterford. Ita was said to embody the six vi ...

Severinus Of Noricum
Severinus of Noricum ( 410 – 8 January 482) is a saint, known as the "Apostle to Noricum". It has been speculated that he was born in either Southern Italy or in the Roman province of Africa. Severinus himself refused to discuss his personal history before his appearance along the Danube in Noricum, after the death of Attila in 453. However, he did mention experiences with eastern desert monasticism, and his '' vita'' draws connections between Severinus and Saint Anthony of Lerins. Saint Severinus of Noricum is not to be confused with Severinus of Septempeda, bishop of San Severino Marche and brother of Saint Victorinus of Camerino. According to Thompson, the saint had been a public figure of the utmost importance and held the consulship himself in 461. Life Little is known of Severinus' origins. The source for information about him is the ''Commemoratorium vitae s. Severini'' (511) by Eugippius. Severinus was a high-born Roman living as an anchorite in the East. He hi ...

Eugippius
Eugippius (circa 460 – circa 535, Castellum Lucullanum) was a disciple and the biographer of Saint Severinus of Noricum. After the latter's death in 482, he took the remains to Naples and founded a monastery on the site of a 1st-century Roman villa, the Castellum Lucullanum (on the site of the later Castel dell'Ovo). In 511 Eugippius wrote to Paschasius and asked his venerated and dear friend, who had great literary skill, to write a biography of St. Severinus from the accounts of the saint which he (Eugippius) had put together in crude and inartistic form. Paschasius, however, replied that the acts and miracles of the saint could not be described better than had been done by Eugippius. While at Naples, Eugippius compiled a 1000-page anthology of the works of St. Augustine and was probably involved in the revision of the Vulgate text of the Gospels Gospel originally meant the Christian message (" the gospel"), but in the second century AD the term (, from whi ...
