	The Story of St. Aidan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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.
		Aidan responded, "Perhaps you have been too hard, expecting fruit while the trees were still saplings." As happens to those who speak up, he was promptly consecrated bishop and given the job.
		Aidan brought gifted young men and women to Lindisfarne and trained them to be the next generation of church leaders -- so well that a half dozen of them are in the calendar of saints.

	"The Religious History of Lindisfarne"
		Aidan was an Irish monk from the monastery St.Columba had founded on the island of Iona.
		Aidan began with 12 boys, who of course would learn the practical work of being monks, priests and missionaries by observing and working with the older monks.
		Aidan himself had made sure that it was possible in Northumbria for women to become nuns if they so wished.

	Saint Aidan
		Aidan preached widely throughout Northumbria, travelling on foot, so that he could readily talk to everyone he met.
		Oswin was angry until, as Bede recounts, Aidan asked if the son of a mare was more precious to the king than a son of God.
		Aidan lived a frugal life, and encouraged the laity to fast and study the scriptures.

	St. Aidan
		Oswald himself sometimes was Aidan's interpreter in the early days; later Aidan founded churches and monasteries, liberated Anglo-Saxon slave-boys and educated them for the Church.
		Once Oswin gave him a fine horse, but Aidan gave it away to a poor man. During Lent he retired to the Inner Farne Island for prayer and penance from there in 651 he saw Bamburgh being burnt by Penda, King of Mercia and prayed successfully for the wind to change.
		Aidan died at Bamburgh later in 651 and was buried at Lindisfarne in the cemetery.

	St. Aidans Church Website
		Aidan was born in Ireland in the late sixth century and later became a monk of Iona in Scotland before being sent to Northumbria to evangelise the intractable English.
		Aidan travelled around Northumbria on foot and whenever people gave him and his companion gifts they would pass them on the poor, the sick and the needy.
		Hence in Christian art St Aidan is sometimes shown together with a tent, reminding us of his death, a stag recalling his endeavours to lead people to Baptism, or a burning torch, telling of his witness to Christ.

	St. Aidan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Aidan was a wandering monk/missionary of this kind.

	Concerning the Name Aidan
		Aidan is a modern English spelling of the early medieval Gaelic name Áedán.
		It was apparently in use in 19th century Ireland, though, where it was anglicized variously as Enat, Ena, and Eny and latinized Aidnata [Woulfe].
		Aidan has occasionally been used as a feminine name in modern times, possibly due to confusion with Etain, an unrelated Irish medieval name pronounced \AY-deen\.
