Celtic and Old English Saints          5 November

* St. Kanten of Wales
* St. Kea of Devon and Cornwall
* St. Bertila of Chelles

(Kay, Ke, Kenan, Quay)
6th century. The British saint Kea left his name to Kea in Cornwall and
Landkey in Devon, where he is still venerated. He
passed some of his life and died in Brittany, where he is venerated as
Saint Quay (at Saint-Quay in northern Brittany and Saint-Quay-Portrieux

his bells (Benedictines,Farmer). In art he is depicted as a bishop

gushes from a rock that he has struck (Roeder). Saint Kea is invoked
