	Aidan of Lindisfarne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne, the Apostle of Northumbria (?-651), is the founder and first bishop of the monastery on the island of Lindisfarne in England.
		An Irishman, possibly born in Connacht, Aidan was a monk at the monastery on the island of Iona in Scotland.
		Aidan was a member of the Irish branch of Christianity instead of the Roman branch, but his character and energy in missionary work won him the respect of Pope Honorius I and Felix of Dunwich.

		Saint Aidan is said to have been a disciple of Saint Senan on Scattery Island, but nothing else is known with certainty of his early life before he became a monk of Iona.
		Saint Aidan took to this monastery 12 English boys to be raised there, and he was indefatigable in tending to the welfare of children and slaves, for the manumission of many of whom he paid from alms bestowed on him.
		Saint Caesidius, son of a Bishop Saint Rufinus who was martyred, was ordained to the priesthood and martyred with a group of Christians on the shores of Lake Fucino, 60 miles east of Rome (Benedictines).

		Saint Aidan was born in Ireland, but moved to the north of England (probably to the monastery at Iona) as a missionary, where he took over from a previous monk whose zeal for conversions led him to use overly-rough tactics which deterred even the heathen locals.
		Aidan was consecrated bishop and established a base for his evangelising trips on Lindisfarne island; he worked under the patronage of the local king, Oswald, training English boys (including Chad) to be missionaries to their compatriots.
		Saint Asaph founded the church at Llanasa in Clwyd (originally Flintshire) and, possibly, the small Celtic monastery at Llanelwy, the Welsh name for what became the cathedral city of Saint Asaph (although St Kentigern is sometimes credited as the founder, and Cynelm was abbot there before Asaph).

		As one of Columba's monks on the island of Iona, Scotland, Aidan was present at a council to discuss the problem of Northern England.

		The saint entered the church before all with universal admiration; and he was afterwards most hospitably entertained by the brethren, and treated by all with the greatest respect and veneration.
