== 聖キアランとの関連の可能性 ==
ケルヌンノスの特質は、アイルランド十二使徒の一人である聖キアラン・オブ・サイギールの生涯に内包されているとする説もある。
Some see the qualities of Cernunnos subsumed into the ''life'' of [[Ciarán of Saigir|Saint Ciarán of Saighir]], one of the [[Twelve Apostles of Ireland]]. When he was building his first tiny cell, as his [[hagiography]] goes, his first disciple and monk was a boar that had been rendered gentle by God. This was followed by a fox, a badger, a wolf and a stag.<ref>{{cite book| last = Mac Cana| first = Proinsias| title = Celtic Mythology| orig-year = 1970| year = 1973| publisher = The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited| location = London| isbn = 0-600-00647-6| pages = [https://archive.org/details/celticmythology00macc/page/47 47–8]| url-access = registration| url = https://archive.org/details/celticmythology00macc/page/47}}</ref>
