	The Aran Sweater
		The Aran sweater, an emblem of both the Aran islands and, indeed, of Ireland itself, is a unique fusion of art and practicality.

		Aran women had always been knitting fisherman’s jerseys, or 'ganseys', as islanders call them, to help their husbands and families weather the often-treacherous island conditions.

		Before the arrival of St. Enda, Aran Mor and the neighbouring islands had long been occupied by a remnant of the ancient Firbolg race, who, driven from the mainland, built themselves rude fortresses in the strongest points of the islands, the barbaric ruins of which still excite wonder.
		He calls it "Aran, the Sun of all the West," another pilgrims' Rome, under whose pure earth he would as soon be buried as nigh to the graves of Saints Peter and Paul.
		Enda divided Aran Mor into two parts, one half to be assigned to his own monastery of Killeany; the other, or western half, to such of his disciples as chose "to erect permanent religious houses on the island." This, however, seems to have been a later arrangement.
