Cronan Balnae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cronan Balnae (died 692) was an Irish Saint.

Cronan Balnae (Cronan of Balla) appears to have been a successor of Mo Chua, who founded the monastery of Balla.

However, O Murail appears to identify him with Mo Chua himself.

His obituary appears in the Annals of the Four Masters.
