Description: *Saint Fiachra* was born in Ireland at the end of the 6th century. He is known as *Saint Fiacre* in English and lived in a hermitage in County Kilkenny, where many disciples gathered around him for his extraordinary knowledge of herbs and his fame as a healer and holy man.

St Faro, the bishop of Meaux, assigned him a spot called Prodilus (Brodoluim), the modern Breuil, in the province of Brie. Here Fiachra built an oratory in honour of the Virgin Mary, a hospice in which he received strangers, and a cell in which he himself lived apart. The legend of Fiachra goes that St Faro allowed him as much land as he might entre...

Description: Another of my saints. Unfortunately the picture was too big for my scanner. An Irishman, possibly born in Connaught, *Aidan* was a monk at the monastery on the island of _Iona in Scotland_.
