Christian feast day: Abbán

Abbán of Corbmaic, also Eibbán or Moabba, was a saint and abbot. He is associated, first and foremost, with the Mag Arnaide. His order was, however, also connected to other churches elsewhere in Ireland, notably that of his alleged sister Gobnait.

March 16 is the 75th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; 290 days remain until the end of the year.
