Saint Ciera of Ireland was a seventh-century abbess who died in 679. Cera’s prayers prevented a foul-smelling fire from destroying an Irish town. When a noxious fire erupted in ‘Muscraig, in Momonia,’ St. Brendan advised the residents to seek Cera’s prayers. They obeyed his instructions, Cera prayed in response to their prayers and the fire was doused.
The phonetic spelling of the short and sweet name is ‘see-EHR-ə.’ The three-syllable name has variations in different languages and cultures.
