03-06-2000 | Feast Day of Kevin, from Old Irish, 'handsome at birth'. St Kevin (or Coemgen) was a very attractive character legends abound about how he loved and was beloved of birds and animals. Some legends can be found in Helen Waddell's book Beasts and Saints (Constable, 1934), but one tells of how he remained in prayer for so long that a blackbird nested in his hand. Kevin refused to move until she had hatched her brood and the fledglings were safely launched. St Kevin was born in Leinster and founded a monastery at Glendalough, County Wicklow, where he died in 618 |
