- Saint Latheran is the patron Saint of Cullen. The sign of the old Church can still be seen. There is a old legend that each morning she used to go the neighbouring forge for materials to light her fire. One morning the smith admired her feet and she looked down at them and she commected the sin of pride. She cursed the smith and prayed that there would never be a forge in Cullen again. St Latheran was beried between the road and the graveyard. There is no place or district connected with the Saint. There is a holy well connected with her and people pay rounds there. There are several people called after her. St Latherans feast day is on the 25th of July each year.
