	Columbanus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Columbanus (543 - 21 November 615; also Columban), was an Irish missionary notable for founding a number of monasteries on the European continent and therefore as an exemplar of Irish missionary activity in early medieval Europe.
		Columbanus founded several monasteries in the Frankish kingdoms, most notably Luxeuil in 590, spreading among the Franks a Celtic monastic rule and Celtic penitential practices for those repenting of sins.
		Columbanus is not to be confused with his near contemporary, Saint Columba otherwise known as Columcille.

		In 610, he accompanied Columbanus on his voyage up the Rhine to Bregenz but when in 612 Columbanus traveled on to Italy from Bregenz, Gall had to remain behind due to illness and was nursed at Arbon.
		Gall delivered Fridiburga from the demon by which she was possessed; she was the betrothed of Sigebert II, King of the Franks, who granted to the saint an estate near Arbon, which belonged to the royal treasury, that he might found a monastery there.
		One night, at the command of the saint, a thoughtful bear brought wood to feed the fire which Gall and his companions had kindled in the forest, a truly druidical myth.
