St. Abigail
St. Abigail, more commonly known as St. Gobnait or Deborah, was a medieval Irish saint born around the 6th century in County Clare, Ireland.
According to tradition, Abigail's family was always feuding. This caused her to run away from home to settle on Inis Oirr in the Aran Islands.
After some time, an angel appeared to Abigail and told her this was not her place of resurrection. She was to head inland to find the place she would spend the rest of her life. The angel told Abigail this place would be marked with the presence of nine white deer.
Abigail set off in search for the deer throughout the southern coastal counties. Her journey is now marked by churches and holy wells which are dedicated to her along the way.
She finally found the herd of deer in Ballyvourney, County Cork, now known as St. Gobnet's Wood.
Abigail would spend the rest of her earthly life dedicated to pastoral service and Christian charitable work. Her brother, St. Abban is believed to have joined her to help set the foundation for a convent, placing Abigail as its abbess, or mother superior

What is St Abigail the Patron Saint Of?
St Abigail (also called St Gobnait or St Deborah) was a sixth century Irish saint. She cared for the sick and founded a convent of nuns. She is the patron saint of honeybees, beekeepers, and ironworkers.
Abigail was born in County Clare, Ireland, in the 500s.
Her family was contentious and argued constantly, so Abigail fled to a tiny island Inis Oírr of the Aran Islands.
But an angel appeared to her and told her to look for nine white deer grazing, and that is where she would ultimately die and be resurrected on the Last Day.
Abigail searched the southern coast of Ireland for this sign of deer and now a pilgrimage route marks her path, which has water wells and churches along it.
Abigail discovered the nine deer in Ballyvourney, County Cork (now called St. Gobnet’s Wood).
