	Columba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Columba (7 December 521 - 9 June 597), the Latinized version of the Irish name Colmcille (Old Irish Columb Cille) meaning "Dove of the church", was the most outstanding among the group of Dark Ages Irish missionary monks who reintroduced Christianity to Scotland and the north of England.
		(Columba's copy of the psalter has been traditionally associated with the Cathach of St. Columba.) As penance for these deaths, Columba suggested that he work as a missionary in Scotland to help convert as many people as had been killed in the battle.
		Columba’s relics were finally removed in 849 and divided between Alba and Ireland.

		Columba then changed teachers from Finnian of Movill to Finnian of Clonard in County Meath where Columba learned the strict life of a monk, such as praying, fasting, hard work, and being obedient to the abbot or leader of the monastery.
		Legend holds that Columba's passion for his homeland of Ireland and his anguish at this moment of leaving were so strong "even the gulls cried as his curragh battled the waves of Lough Foyle in departure and the oak trees whispered softly their lament" (Monastic Life).
		Columba's ability to both remain exiled, yet establish monasteries in Ireland, to maintain a strict abbacy, yet show kindness and convert many to faith demonstrate his passion is a contradiction appeals to modern Christians and the reason the dove is still esteemed today.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Columba
		The reasons alleged for this action of Columba are: (1) The king's violation of the right of sanctuary belonging to Columba's person as a monk on the occasion of the murder of Prince Curnan, the saint's kinsman; (2) Diarmait's adverse judgment concerning the copy Columba had secretly made of St. Finnian's psalter.
		Columba's conscience smote him, and he had recourse to his confessor, St. Molaise, who imposed this severe penance: to leave Ireland and preach the Gospel so as to gain as many souls to Christ as lives lost at Cooldrevny, and never more to look upon his native land.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Brigid of Ireland
		It is exceedingly difficult to reconcile the statements of St. Brigid's biographers, but the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Lives of the saint are at one in assigning her a slave mother in the court of her father Dubhthach, and Irish chieftain of Leinster.
		Even allowing for the exaggerated stories told of St. Brigid by her numerous biographers, it is certain that she ranks as one of the most remarkable Irishwomen of the fifth century and as the Patroness of Ireland.
		As to St. Brigid's stay in Connacht, especially in the County Roscommon, there is ample evidence in the "Trias Thaumaturga", as also in the many churches founded by her in the Diocese of Elphim.

		Columba, the most famous of the saints associated with Scotland, was actually an Irishman of the O'Neill or O'Donnell clan, born about the year 521 at Garton, County Donegal, in north Ireland.
		Columba's own conscience was uneasy, and on the advice of an aged hermit, Molaise, he resolved to expiate his offense by exiling himself and trying to win for Christ in another land as many souls as had perished in the terrible battle of Cuil Dremne.
		Columba seems to have first devoted himself to teaching the imperfectly instructed Christians of Dalriada, most of whom were of Irish descent, but after some two years he turned to the work of converting the Scottish Picts.
