	Cuthbert of Lindisfarne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cuthbert was of Northumbrian origin, probably from the neighborhood of Dunbar, in modern-day Scotland.
		In 684, Cuthbert was elected as bishop of Lindisfarne, but he was reluctant to leave his retirement and become bishop; it was only after a visit from a large group, including king Ecgfrith, that he agreed to return and take up the duties of bishop.
		Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of Northumbria.

	St Cuthbert biography
		Although tradition says that Cuthbert was the son of an Irish king, it is most likely that he was born in the vicinity of Melrose, in present day Scotland, of poor parents.
		The young Cuthbert may have been influenced by the nearby monks of Melrose Abbey in his choice of vocation; when he was sixteen he received a vision of the soul of St. Aidan being carried to heaven by angels.
		Cuthbert was a perfect choice for such a sensitive role; his reputation for devotion and sanctity, and the fact that he himself had been raised in the Celtic tradition and now supported Roman rule made his gentle leadership ideal for the job at hand.

		He knew that the Church of Lindisfarne contained many holy men, by whose teaching and example he might be instructed, but he was moved by the great reputation of Boisil, a monk and priest of surpassing merit, to choose for himself an abode in the abbey of Melrose.
