A great, great saint and one all of us should be familiar with in the "Anglosphere". His feast day in the Orthodox Church is August 31.

St. Aidan of Lindisfarne

I frequently encounter people who claim to be investigating "Celtic spirituality". By this they typically mean reconstructions of Druidry filtered through romantic legend.

I always give them a litany of the Celtic saints in reply: Christian, orthodox, and a light to the world in a dark time.

I have a personal devotion to St. Aidan and St. Columcille (Columba).
