Saint Macartan, also known as Aedh Mac Cairthinn or Macartan, is one of the earliest Christian saints in Ireland, recognized as the first Bishop of Clogher. Born in Munster, he was converted to Christianity by Saint Patrick and became one of his closest companions, known for his strength and dedication, earning him the title "Threin Fhir" or "Strong Man" of Patrick. Macartan was instrumental in spreading Christianity in the regions of Tyrone and Fermanagh, establishing the see of Clogher. His life is marked by his support for Patrick, particularly when he carried Patrick over rough terrain, and his role in founding one of Ireland's oldest dioceses. | Saint Macartan, also known as Aedh Mac Cairthinn or Macartan, is one of the earliest Christian saints in Ireland, recognized as the first Bishop of Clogher.
