Life of Saint Fintán, alias Munnu, abbot of Tech Munnu


p.198

Saint Fintán, priest of God the most high, the son of Tulchán, descended from the Uí Néill, from the Cenél Conaill. His mother, whose name was Fedelm, was of the Cenél Maini, of the Uí Néill. The house in which holy Fintán was born had been built on a large rock. The house being long gone, that rock continues to be held in great esteem by all; and to this day no snow has fallen on this rock because of the grace of the holy baby, who was born on the same rock.
