Died 6th century. There are possibly several Welsh and Cornish saints by this name and its variations, but nothing is definitely known about them. The name is associated with that of Saint Teilo (f.d.February 9). Mabenna is the name of one of the daughters of the prolific Saint Brychan of Brecknock (f.d. April 6). Various place-names are attributed to these saints (Benedictines).

Kontakion of St Mabyn
Tone 8
Preserving thyself in virginity, and pleasing Christ our God with thy asceticism, O holy Mabyn,
thou didst give to the faithful an example of pious and godly living.
Pray that the example of our lives will also be pleasing to God,
that our souls will be brought into the Way of Salvation.
