Finnian of Clonard
Saint Finnian of Clonard ('Cluain Eraird') – also Finian, Fionán or Fionnán in Irish; or Vennianus and Vinniaus in its Latinised form (470–549) – was one of the early Irish monastic saints, who founded Clonard Abbey in modern-day County Meath. The Twelve Apostles of Ireland studied under him. Saint Finnian of Clonard (along with Saint Enda of Aran) is considered one of the fathers of Irish monasticism.〔Wallace, Martin. A Little Book of Celtic Saints. Belfast. Appletree Press, 1995, ISBN 0-86281-456-1, p.19〕
==Early life==
Finnian was born at Myshall, County Carlow towards the end of the fifth century and it is said that all the birds of Ireland gathered as a portent of the holy life he would lead. His father was Rudraigh, an Ulster noble; his mother, Telach of Leinster.〔"St.Finnian", Monastic Ireland, retrieved 3 October 2011.〕 His birthplace is generally supposed to have been near the present town of New Ross. Saint Abban baptised Finnian, and at an early age he was placed under the care of Bishop Fortchern of Trim.〔(Thunder, John., "St. Finnian of Clonard", ''Irish Ecclesiastical Record'', Vol. XIII, p. 810, 1892 )〕
This introduction to the Christian Church awakens in him a hunger for more learning that drives him across the sea to Britain, and then further afield to France. St. Martin's famous monastery at Tours is his first point of landing, and his experiences there shape his idea of religious life. Tours is noted for its austerity, and for its sacrifice of physical comfort for spiritual gain. Finnian finds himself at home in this environment, and begins a lifetime of austere monastic discipline. After a time of study at Tours, Finnian was directed by St. Fortchern to proceed to Wales to perfect himself in holiness and sacred knowledge under the great saints of that country. Here, Finnian continued his studies at the monastery of Cadoc the Wise, at Llancarfan in Glamorganshire. He remains there for years, at prayer and study, growing in strength of spirit.〔("St. Finian of Clonard", All Saints Parish )〕 Finian made copies of Rome's classics and of St. Jerome's vulgate Bible.
