HAPPY ST. COLM CILLE DAY
St. Colm Cille (aka St.
Columba) is indeed a busy patron. Along with St. Patrick and St.
Brigit, he is a co patron saint of Ireland and along with St. Andrew,
a co patron saint of Scotland.
St. Colm Cille was Irish.
He was a passionate and holy man. Sent from Ireland as a penance
for a sin (it is explained in the book that I am working on) he
landed on The island of Iona on the southwest coast of Scotland and
from there was an apostle to the Scots.
There are no special
remembrances of his feast day. Patrick and Brigit get all the glory
in Ireland and St. Andrew in Scotland.
