She is the patron saint of hares and arguably a 7th century hunt sab; according to legend she saved a hunted hare under her cloak and protected them from a prince's hounds 🐰🌞 Today is her feast day 🐇

I'd not heard of St Melangell before so looked up Wikipedia (not reliable but most of the rest of the web now worse).
So there is a Celtic + Irish & moon connection.

See also Goddess Brigid vs St. Brigid who share the same day. The Fire Festival of Imbolc, now 1st February.

Dr Who maybe 50 years ago? Russell T. Davis made it into something else.

Sounds very Celtic / Irish. No Rabbits here till the Normans brought them in the 12th C.
Also Celts saw a "hare in the moon" (c.f. Japan Rabbit and Americas Rabbit/hare in the Moon).

My wife served on the building committee for our parish, and developed a strong affinity for St. Melangell.
