Happy St. Colm Cille's Day

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.

Happy St. Petroc's Day

Happy St. Petroc's Day to all the Celts, especially our Cornish sisters. St. Petroc is recognized as one of three patron saints of Cornwall. Both the Roman Catholic and the Anglican Communities honor him as patron of the country. Many pilgrims travel to his church in Bodmin, but there are no organized celebrations of his day. Perhaps we should change that?
