Finnian of Movilla
Finnian〔Sometimes given as Uinniau in older sources.〕 of Moville (–589) was an Irish Christian missionary. His feast day is September 10.
==Origins and life==
Finnian (sometimes called Finbarr, "the white head", a reference to his fair hair),〔(Hammond, David. "St. Finnian's Cregagh" )〕 was a Christian missionary in medieval Ireland. He should not be confused with his namesake Finnian of Clonard. Nor should Movilla (Maigh Bhile) in County Down be mistaken for Moville in County Donegal.
Traditional scholarship has it that he was a descendant of Fiatach the Fair and born in Ulster, but his lineage has been questioned lately by the American Celticist Thomas Owen Clancy. He apparently studied under Colman of Dromore and Mochae of Noendrum, and subsequently at Candida Casa (Whithorn), whence he proceeded to Rome, returning to Ireland in 540 with a copy of St. Jerome's Vulgate.〔(Grattan-Flood, William. "St. Finnian of Moville." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 6. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1909. 19 Jul. 2013 )〕 He returned to found a school of his own and, at a time when books were rare, this text brought honor and prestige to the establishment.〔
