Leo of Inis Airc, early Medieval Irish Christian saint. ==Biography== Inishark lies south-west of Inishbofin, Galway and was inhabited up to 1960. Leo is the patron saint of the island, and responsible for perhaps the first Christian settlement on the island. He lived in the 7th century. The church he founded, now in ruins, is called Teampaill Leo, featuring a stone cross, Leac Leo. On the nearby south shore is Uaimh Leo, a cave where he is said to have prayed and meditated. Clochán Leo is a ruined structure said to have been his residence. A 19th-century church was erected on the site of his Monastery. His feast day was originally 11 April but later celebrated on 10 November. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leo of Inis Airc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
