Saint Moninne of Killeavy was one of Ireland's early women saints. After instruction in the religious life, she founded a community, initially consisting of eight virgins and a widow with a baby, at Sliabh Gullion, Co. Armagh. They lived an eremitical life, based on that of Elijah and Saint John the Baptist. Moninne died in 517 or 518. Monnine's feast day is celebrated on July 6 and is marked by pilgrims visiting her well.
