"Who is Saint Aidan?Born in Ireland in the 7th century, Aidan became a monk at the famous monastery of Iona in Scotland. In 635, Aidan was consecrated a Bishop and sent to bring the Gospel to the pagans of Northumbria.
Aidan was well known for his gentle and loving pastoral care. Rather than riding a horse, as befitted his rank, he preferred to walk everywhere, dealing with the people face to face. He lived a life of ceaseless prayer and poverty, giving all his wealth to the poor. He died in peace in 651 A.D., a beloved pastor and light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
