Enda of Aran
Saint Enda of Aran (Éanna, Éinne or Endeus, died c. 530) is an Irish saint in the Roman Catholic Church. His feast day is 21 March.
Enda was a warrior-king of Oriel in Ulster, converted by his sister, Saint Fanchea, an abbess. About 484 he established the first Irish monastery at Killeaney on Aran Mor. St. Enda is described as the "patriarch of Irish monasticism". Most of the great Irish saints had some connection with Aran.
==Early life and conversion==
According to the ''Martyrdom of Oengus'', Enda was an Irish prince, son of Conall Derg of Oriel (Ergall) in Ulster. Legend has it that when his father died, he succeeded him as king and went off to fight his enemies.〔(Stevens, Rev. Clifford, "The One Year Book of Saints", Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Division, Our Sunday Visitor, Inc., Huntington, IN )〕 The soldier Enda was converted by his sister, Saint Fanchea, an abbess.〔 He visited Fanchea, who tried to persuade him to lay down his arms. He agreed, if only she would give him a young girl in the convent for a wife. He renounced his dreams of conquest and decided to marry. The girl she promised turned out to have just died, and Fanchea forced him to view the girl's corpse, to teach him that he, too, would face death and judgment.〔(Mann, Benjamin, "St. Enda, irish monastic pioneer remembered March 21", Catholic News Agency, March 18, 2012 )〕
Faced with the reality of death, and by his sister's persuasion, Enda decided to study for the priesthood, and studied first at St Ailbe’s monastery at Emly.〔(Duffy, Patrick. "St. Enda of Aran", Caitlicigh Ar An nGreasan )〕 Fanchea sent him to Candida Casa in southwestern Scotland, a great center of monasticism. There he took monastic vows and was ordained.〔 The stories told of the early life of Saint Enda and his sister are unhistorical. More authentic vitae survive at Tighlaghearny at Inishmore, where he was buried.
