SAINT BRYNACH

St. Brynach
Brynach of Carn-Engyle
Also known as Bernach, Bernacus, Brenach or Bryynach the Irishman

Patron: of Spring
Death: 6th century


 Brynach was an Irishman who settled in Wales, where he built a hermitage and a church at a place called Carn-Engyle [Mountain of Angels] overlooking the Nevern Pembrokeshire. Traditionally, the place received its name because Brynach was in constant communication with the angels. His church became the principal church of the district. Some authors identify him with Saint Brannock of Braunton
