<p> Berectus (Beretchert, Or Beriktus) </p> <p> is the name of a Scottish and an Irish ecclesiastic of early date: </p> <p> 1. A saint by this name is mentioned by Wion. He is said to have died in 720, and is commemorated Feb. 24. See Forbes, Kalendar of Scottish Saints, p. 279. </p> <p> 2. On Dec. 6 the Irish hagiologists place Beretchert, or Berectus, of Tulachleis, now Tullylease, County Cork. He is given as brother of Sts. Gerald, Balanus, and Hubrit. The [[Bollandists]] (Acta SS. Feb., 2, 833 sq.), in their Life of St. Berach, would identify Berectus with him. The Four Masters gives the death of "Berichtir of Tulachleis" Dec. 6, 839. </p>
