  1. St Carthage is the patron Saint of Rahan. Saint Carthage is supposed to work a miracle on Rahan bridge. A boy fell into the river and St Carthage restored life to him. It is not known how many monks St Carthage had. When St Carthage was leaving Rahan he forgot Something and he sent the word back back to the last monk because he would be only leaving the monastery.
