Ia of Cornwall
Saint Ia of Cornwall (also known as ''Eia'', ''Hia'' or ''Hya'') was a Cornish evangelist and martyr of the 5th or 6th centuries. She is said to have been an Irish princess, the sister of Saint Erc and a student of Saint Baricus.
==Legend==
Ia went to the seashore to depart for Cornwall from her native Ireland along with other Saints. Finding that they had gone without her, fearing that she was too young for such a hazardous journey. She was grief-stricken and began to pray. As she prayed she noticed a small leaf floating on the water and touched it with a rod to see if it would sink. As she watched it grew bigger and bigger. Trusting to God, she embarked upon the leaf and was carried across the Irish Sea.〔("The History of St. Ives", St. Ives Tourist Association )〕 She reached Cornwall before the others, where she joined Saints Gwinear and Piala.
Legend holds that they had up to 777 companions. She is said to have founded an oratory in a clearing in a wood on the site of the existing Parish Church that is dedicated to her. 〔Ia was martyred under "King Teudar"〔: R A Ogden, ''An Unknown Planet?'', 2008, Park Corner Press, Warrington, p 41〕 (i.e., Tewdwr Mawr of Penwith) on the River Hayle and buried at what is now St Ives, where St Ia's Church — of which she is now the patron — was erected over her grave. The town built up around it. Her feast day is 3 February.
The church of Plouyé in Brittany was probably dedicated originally to this saint.〔Doble, G. H. (1960) ''The Saints of Cornwall'': part 1. Truro: Dean and Chapter; pp. 89-94〕 John Leland gives details from a Latin life of Ia, which is no longer extant.
