Herbert of Derwentwater
Saint Herbert of Derwentwater (?- 20 March 687) was an Anglo-Saxon priest and hermit who lived on St. Herbert's Island, a small island in Derwentwater.
==Biography==
The life of St. Herbert is recorded in Book IV Chapter 29 of St. Bede's "Ecclesiastical History of the English People."〔
His date of birth is unknown. He was for long the close friend and disciple of Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, at whose request he took up the life of an anchorite,〔 dwelling for many years on the little island still known as St Herbert's Island, in the lake of Derwentwater.〔(Toke, Leslie. "St. Herbert of Derwentwater." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 7. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1910. 16 May 2013 )〕 He ate fish from the lake and grew vegetables around his tiny cell.〔("Saint Herbert and his Island", Lake District National Park )〕
He visited Cuthbert in Lindisfarne every year for the purpose of receiving his direction in spiritual matters. In the year 686, hearing that his friend was visiting Carlisle for the purpose of giving the veil to Queen Eormenburg, he went to see him there, instead of at Lindisfarne as was usual. After they had spoken together, St. Cuthbert said, "Brother Herbert, tell to me now all that you have need to ask or speak, for never shall we see one another again in this world. For I know that the time of my decease is at hand." Then Herbert fell weeping at his feet and begged that St. Cuthbert would obtain for him the grace that they might both be admitted to praise God in heaven at the same time. And St. Cuthbert prayed and then made answer, "Rise, my brother, weep not, but rejoice that the mercy of God has granted our desire." And indeed Herbert, returning to his hermitage, fell ill of a long sickness, and, purified of his imperfections, passed to God on the very March 20, 687 on which St. Cuthbert died on Holy Island.〔
