Who they were
Croine Beg, Virgin, of Tempull Croine, in Tir-Conaill, and she was of the race of Conall Gulban, son of Niall.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: she has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Martyrology of Donegal remembers her on 7 July.
