Saint Maonacan, otherwise Manchan (Irish: Manchán, Middle English: Mancheanus, Maenucan, Maonacan, Moenagain, fl. A.D. 500) of Athleague (Irish: Ath-Liag, "the stony-ford of St. Manchan" or "ford of flagstones", death 6th century),[1] was an early Irish Christian saint. He founded a church in Athleague, in county Roscommon. Saint Manchan's feast day is celebrated on February 18 (February 7 in the Old Calendar), by Roman Catholics, and Anglicans. The life of Manchan of Athleague is obscured because many persons named Manchan are to be found among the monastically inclined medieval Irish Christians.
