Beoga (Or Begga)

an Irish saint, whose day is Feb. 10. It is said by Coulgan. (Tr. ‘ Thaum. p. 121) that when St. Patrick was in East Meath he left at the Church of Techlaisran, in that county, two of his disciples, Bega a virgin, and Lugaidh a priest, probably brother and sister, the children of Gauran. Near the church-door was a well and a tomb, the latter having the name of Feart- Bige, or Bega's tomb.
