I renamed this page "Saint Ita" from the previous "Saint Ides." There was discussion about distinguishing this saint from St. Ides malt liquor and getting the redirects straightened out. But the problem is solved once the saint is refered to by the most common form of her name. I have never seen her refered to as St. Ides. I am pastor of a church named for her and have read just about everything I can find which mentions her. If "Ides" were at all a common form of her name, I would have seen it somewhere, other than the ocassional mention "also spelled Ides" sort of thing. Sean Lotz 18:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

wasn't she eaten by a monstrous beetle which she had prayed for or something?

There is a strange story, very old, related by St. Aegnus in his poetical calendar of saints. There was a giant beetle, the size of a lap dog, which gnawed at her side ("breast" is what the original has). One day when she was away sans beetle, the beetle crawled out of its hole, the nuns saw it, and they killed it. When St. Ita returned and discovered the beetle dead, sh laid a curse on the monastery that none of the sisters would succeed her as abbess. The story is strange, and most who read it seem to believe that it is a corruption of some event. Maybe she had a tumor? Who knows. Queezbo (talk) 16:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She's said to be representative of the six virtues of Irish womanhood, but only 5 are listed - what is the 6th?

The sixth is beauty. I have found a better link that shows this and added it to the article. --One Salient Oversight (talk) 11:12, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Descent from Fedlimid Rechtmar

Two of our sources disagree about whether it was her father or mother that were so descended. A better source would be a goo thing. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:08, 26 June 2019 (UTC).[reply]
