=================
Today -- June 3 -- commemorates the Feast Day of Saint Kevin, the founder and first abbot of Glendalough in County Wicklow, one of the most famous abbeys in Ireland.
Born in 498 AD and baptized as Kevin or Coemgen, he studied for the priesthood, and after his ordination, Kevin moved to remote Glendalough.
There he lived as a hermit for seven years -- during which time he devoted himself to prayer and developed a deep respect for animals and nature.
In fact, he is considered to be the Patron Saint of animals, most notably blackbirds.
He soon attracted disciples and founded a monastery that flourished for
six centuries, while Glendalough gradually becoming a major spiritual
center in Ireland.
On June 3, 612 AD, Kevin died of natural causes and twelve centuries later, he was canonized in 1903.
Accordingly, we offer for your approval tonight, 3 questions about St. Kevin and Glendalough.
Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question.
A special 73! to Kevin [KG7KNS] of north Seattle for suggesting tonight's topic! Let's get feasting....
Question #1: St. Cronan baptized him with the name "Kevin". What does this name mean?
A. "Compassionate Child", or
B. "Fair-begotten", or
C. "He who dances with wolves".
Question
#2: What does the village name Glendalough (Irish: "Gleann Dá Loch") mean?
A. "Land of Hives and Honey", or
B. "Valley of Two Lakes", or
C. "Home of Glinda, the Good Witch".
Question
#3: While a hermit, he lived in a location that is known today as "St. Kevin's Bed". What is it?
A. A small bee-hive hut (only a circle of base stones remain today), or
B. A Bronze Age tomb (cave) about 30 feet above one of the local lakes, or
C. A stone fort known in Gaelic as a "caiseal".

Fed his Monks with fish brought to him by an Otter.
A Blackbird layed an egg in his hand during Prayer. He stayed in prayer until the egg hatched.
