Saint
Brendan Religious Medal
Patron:
Mariners; Sailors and Sea Travelers
Saint Brendan died
in 583. Born possibly in Tralee, Ireland, and educated by St.
Ita and ordained by Bishop Erc, he became a monk and founded a
large monastery at Clonfert.
Many fantastic details have been added to this brief knowledge
usually based on the fictional "Navigation" in which he is
described as searching for the
Isles of the Blessed, touching the Canaries.
