Kevin of Glendalough
Saint Cóemgen ((アイルランド語:Caoimhín); (ラテン語:Coemgenus)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/315779/Saint-Kevin )〕), popularly Anglicized to Kevin (498 – 3 June 618) is an Irish saint who was known as the founder and first abbot of Glendalough in County Wicklow, Ireland. His feast day in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches is 3 June.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Kevin )〕
==Early life==
His life is not well documented, as no contemporaneous material survives. His Latin ''vita'' (life) maintains that as with St. Columba, Kevin's family were of the nobility — he was the son of Coemlog and Coemell of Leinster. He was born in 498 at the Fort of the White Fountain.〔(Haggerty, Bridget, "St. Kevin - founder of Glendalough", Irish Culture and Customs )〕 He was given the Irish name ''Coemgen'', which means "fair-begotten",〔(Edmonds, Columba. "St. Kevin (Coemgen)." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 4. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1908. 8 Feb. 2013 )〕 and was baptized by Cronan of Roscrea.
The ''Acta Sanctorum'', which is based on an ancient manuscript, contains a number of legends. The author of a commentary on this manuscript, Fr. Francis Baert, S.J., explains “that although many of the legends given to this work are of doubtful veracity; it was decided to let them stand in favour of the antiquity of the document which is placed as having been written during or before the 12th century”. St Kevin’s birth and early years figure prominently in traditional legends. In his infancy a mysterious white cow is said to have come to his parents' house every morning and evening and supplied the milk for the baby.〔("Legends of St. Kevin", Glendalough Monastice History )〕 From the age of seven, he was educated by St. Petroc of Cornwall, who had come to Leinster about 492, and lived with the monks until he was 12.
