  St Kilda (2)
St Kilda had not been victorious in a finals match for twenty six years (not that there had been all that many finals matches during that time) but for once the optimism was not misplaced as the Saints raced to a comfortable 30 point win, 10.12 (72) to 6.6 (42).
St Kilda were far from disgraced, however, and yet again it appeared that the club had turned the corner, but the outbreak of what was to become a second global conflict in September 1939 rendered any long term prospects of consolidation and improvement problematic.
Significantly, however, the one team which St Kilda had failed to beat all year was Essendon, and it was the Bombers who ultimately stood in St Kilda's way when the Saints downed Collingwood by the narrowest of margins to reach only the second grand final in the club's history.

Home games took place at the newly fenced St Kilda Cricket Ground and the 'Saints', as they began to be known at around this time, were competitive but not outstanding, winning 6 and drawing 2 of their 18 matches for the year to finish 12th out of 15 clubs.

 THE CLEITEAN OF THE SAINT-KILDA ARCHIPELAGO
Two incised crosses were found in reused stone blocks, the first one in a village house (could it not have been a foundation stone?), the second one in a cleit, but it really takes an act of faith to see vestiges of early christianity in them.
One is indebted to their steward, Martin Martin, for the first detailed description of the place and the inhabitants' way of life, already centred on the catching of seabirds and the use of cleitean.

 St Kilda, and the Mexican wave - Arts - Entertainment - theage.com.au
"Then I began to research and I found that this was a saint that might not have existed," he says of the discovery that it had probably taken its name from a schooner, Lady of St Kilda, whose owner had visited the St Kilda group of islands west of Scotland with his wife.
In one painting, the sleeping "saint" is observed by a rooster featured in Mexican folk art and inspired by the one cited by Jesus when he told Peter he would disown him three times, "this very night, before the rooster crows".
"Marquez is fascinated by the mythology of St Kilda the suburb and the mysterious saint 'Kilda', although he knows that it is named for a cargo yacht 'Lady of St Kilda'," Crumlin writes.

So it is easy to imagine that early visitors to the islands might have heard Kilta or Kilda and even maybe St Kilda.
