Bronach (Or Bromada)

virgin, is commemorated as an Irish saint, April 2. She was abbess of Glensiechis, otherwise called Glentegys, Clonfeys, and now Kilbroney, since the 14th century. She was called St. Bromana, and her baculius or crosier seems to have been a relic which was preserved with great veneration and emolument in the parish church of Kilbroney, which derived its name from her.
