Summary edit
| Description |
English: St Dympna's shrine and well, Caldavnet, Tydavnet, Co Monaghan (No legal right of way onto this site.)
Saint Davnet (in Gaelic Damhnat) lived and died at Sliabh Beagh in the parish of Tydavnet (Tigh Damhnait = "house of Davnet"), Co. Monaghan. Tradition speaks of her as a virgin who in the sixth century founded a church or monastery in the area (generally considered to have been located in the graveyard of the current village Catholic church). A 10th century ornamental pilgrim's staff, the bachall Damhnait ("staff of Davnet"), said to have been hers is on display in the National Museum. In the past it was kept for generations in the parish and was often used as a test of truth. At Caldavnet at the northern end of the parish is St. Dympnas Well, still a major place of pilgrimage. The local school is called St Dympna's and the major psychiatric hospital (built 1869-71) in nearby Monaghan town is called St Davnet's. Also there is a link between the village of Tydavnet and the town of Gheel 25 miles east of Antwerp in Belgium. The body of St Dympna, the patron saint of the mentally ill, is displayed in a silver reliquary in a church in Gheel named in her honour. She has her own feast on May 15th. http://www.catholicireland.net/pages/index.php?nd=367&art=1234 |
