**Popular name from early Ireland. There were several Kings and at least *twelve [[saint]]s called '''Ronan''' |
|||
Which include: |
|||
*A * [[Celt|Celtic]] [[saint]] of [[Irish people|Irish]] origin. ** Ronan the Silent, sometimes confused with St.'''Rumon''' of 6th century Britain because stories portray him as keeping a tame pet wolf. * He preached throughout his part of the [[Celtic Christianity|Celtic Christian]] world, particularly in [[Devon]]/[[Cornwall]] and [[Brittany]].He is venerated particularly in the village of [[Locronan]] in Brittany, which is named after him, and which has his [[relics]]. **Although not on the official calendar of Saints. Ronan has been venerated on June 1st. |
|||
*A saint referred to in Sir [[Walter Scott]]'s book, ''[[St. Ronan's Well]]''. Scott's St. Ronan was a Celtic monk, Bishop of Kilmaronen, who advocated the use of the Roman rather than Celtic manner for the [[Easter controversy|calculation of the date of Easter]]. This St. Ronan is the [[patron saint]] of the [[Scotland|Scottish]] town of [[Innerleithen]]. (See [[Synod of Whitby]]). |

Image:Locronan Pulpit1.JPG|Scenes from the life of St Ronan or Rumon on the [[polychrome]] [[pulpit]] at [[Locronan]] parish church in [[Brittany]]. One legend tells us that Ronan's wife denounced him as a [[werewolf]] to the local prince, who tested this claim by exposing him to hunting hounds. Being trained to hunt wolves, they would have sensed the presence of a werewolf, but were left unmoved. |
|||
Image:Locronan Pulpit2.JPG|More scenes from the life and death of St Ronan on the [[Locronan]] pulpit. Ronan left his wife to take up a life of preaching and healing. After his death, there was much argument over the disposal of his body, so it was placed on an ox cart and the animals allowed to drag it wherever they pleased. They finally took it to Locronan. |
|||
Image:St Ronan Relics.JPG|[[Reliquary]] of St Ronan, [[Locronan]], [[Brittany]]. Legend has it that his remains were taken to Cornwall during the [[Viking]] raids, and there worked miracles until the [[Dissolution of the Monasteries]]. However it seems that some relics were returned or reappeared in Brittany around the 13th century. |
|||
Image:St_Ronan_Banner.JPG|St Ronan, pictured on the [[banner]] of the [[parish]] church of [[Locronan]], [[Brittany]]. The banner will be used particularly on the saint's feast day, 1 June, and on the Troménies or [[Pardon (ceremony)|pardons]] held at Locronan in July. |
