Delighted to learn that Mass this evening in Saint Patrick’s Church, Tierworker will be offered in honour of Saint Siric, a patron Saint of Moybologue. What a lovely gesture that an historic patron Saint should be honoured & celebrated in a parish mass on his feast day.

Today, November 26, is the feast of Pope Siricius (d. 399). Early medieval Irish hagiographers gaelicised him as Bishop Siric of Mag Bolg (Moybologue, Co. Cavan).

Loved being back at Rathcroghan Visitor Centre on Saturday for what has become my annual pilgrimage. Another excellent edition of Archaeology Above & Below. Congratulations to Daniel, Mike, Elaine & the team in Tulsk for all you do to bring the Rathcroghan experience to life & make it so accessible.

Clear skies and a beautiful evening for a stroll around a peaceful country graveyard. Used the Merlin Bird ID App for only 5 mins and detected a surprising variety of birds in the immediate vicinity.

We’re migrating here fully over the next few days. Our IG page has been taken down as well, as it’s too much trying to mod 4 feeds. Our FB page is maintained as is for the foreseeable. Looking forward to keeping the interactions & discussions going over here. Happy New Year!

Since its the day for it, an apposite reminder that Moybologue has its own early medieval Latinate inscription in Old Irish, about which Brian Callaghan @moybologue.bsky.social and I published an article in 2020: www.brepolsonline.net/doi/epdf/10....
