Aidan of Lindisfarne
Aidan of Lindisfarne〔''Aidan'' is the anglicised form of the original Old Irish ''Áedán''.〕 (died 31 August 651) was an Irish monk and missionary credited with restoring Christianity to Northumbria. He founded a monastic cathedral on the island of Lindisfarne, served as its first bishop, and travelled ceaselessly throughout the countryside, spreading the gospel to both the Anglo-Saxon nobility and to the socially disenfranchised (including children and slaves).
He is known as the Apostle of Northumbria and is recognised as a saint by the Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion and others.
==Biography==
Bede's meticulous and detailed account of Aidan's life provides the basis for most biographical sketches (both classical and modern). One notable lacuna, which (somewhat paradoxically) reinforces the notion of Bede's reliability, is that virtually nothing is known of the monk's early life, save that he was a monk at the ancient monastery on the island of Iona from a relatively young age and that he was of Irish descent.〔See Bede's ''(Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation )'' (Book III) ''Medieval Sourcebook''; David Hugh Farmer, ''The Oxford Dictionary of Saints.'' (Oxford; New York: Oxford University Press, 1997), 8.〕 Aidan was known for his strict asceticism.〔("St. Aidan the Bishop of Lindisfarne", Orthodox Church in America )〕
