Saint VELE ou VENET (BASILE), Celte de nation, ermite sur l'île de Ré (Vème siècle).



St. Siadhal  (Sedulius, Seadhal, Siadal)-
5th century. Sedulius (known in Irish as Siadhal, pronounced Shiel), was an Irish priest known as the Christian Virgil on the strength of his epic poem in five books Carmen Paschale. He left Ireland to found a school of poetry in Athens, proving that outstanding scholarship existed on the Emerald Isle prior to Saint Patrick. While he was still in Ireland, he may have been a disciple of Saint Ailbhe 



Saint ETHILWOLD, évêque de Lindisfarne (vers 740).



February 12 sees the feast of an eighth-century abbot at the monastery of Clonard, County Meath - Saint Forannan. O'Hanlon has a brief entry on what is known of him:
St. Forannan, Abbot of Clonard, County of Meath.

On February 12 we commemorate a 9th-century Archbishop of Armagh, Saint Fethgna. The bishop is listed as the 39th in the list of 'coarbs' or successors of Patrick:

The Martyrology of Donegal records:

12. A. PRIDIE IDUS FEBRUARII. 12.

FETHGNA, successor of Patrick, head of the religion of the Gaoidhil, A.D. 872.

and a note in the table of the saints appended to the calendar adds:
