SAINTS St Chad St Chad and his brother St Cedd lived during the seventh century AD and were born in Northumbria. They both received their training at Lindisfarne with St Aidan. St Chad was sent to Ireland by St Aidan where he worked with St Egbert. He was later chosen by King Oswin or Osiu of Northumbria to be the bishop of York although the king’s son Alcfrith had actually promised the see to StWilfred who had travelled to France to be consecrated by St Agilbert. St Chad, by contrast, was ordained in England by Bishop Wine of Dorchester. In 669 AD St Chad was removed from office by St Theodore of Canterbury because he objected to St Chad’s ordination by Bishop Wine, a churchman whom the Venerable Bede describes as keeping Easter in contravention of accepted canonical custom. However, St Theodore was later so impressed by St Chad’s humility and holiness that he reconsecrated him and appointed him Bishop of Mercia. St Chad made the seat of his diocese in Lichfield where he established a monastery. Although St Chad was to serve for only around three years before his death in 672 AD, his work was widely praised. He is a particularly important saint in the Midlands where over thirty churches, including St Chad’s in Shrewsbury, were named in his honour as well as a number of sacred wells. His feast day is celebrated on 2 March. TheVenerable Bede One of the most important early histories of the English Church was written by a Benedictine monk, famous today as theVenerable Bede, who is thought to have been born in about •52•
CELTIC AND EARLY ENGLISH SAINTS 672 AD. What is known of Bede is recorded in his most famous work Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum or ‘The Ecclesiastical History of the English People’. He gives a brief biographical description of his life in which he relates that he was sent to join the monastery of St Peter at Monkwearmouth in Northumbria when he was seven years old. He goes on to say that he became a deacon at the age of nineteen and, after training, became a priest. He also said that he became a priest when he was thirty. Bede served under and was trained by Abbot Benedict Biscop and Abbot Ceolfrid. It is likely that Bede joined the monastery of Jarrow with Abbot Ceolfrid in 682 AD. It is interesting to note that the title of the ‘Venerable’ Bede may actually derive from a mistaken translation of words on the monk’s tomb at Durham Cathedral. An inscription written in Latin on his tomb reads, ‘Here lie the venerable bones of Bede’. However, it is thought that this was wrongly interpreted as saying, ‘Here lie the bones of the Venerable Bede’! Lindisfarne One of the most infamous events to take place in the history of Lindisfarne, and one that would have dramatic repercussions for Christianity in England, was a fierce attack on the monastic community there by a Viking raiding party. The entry for the year 793 AD in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, a collection of manuscripts charting the history of England during this period, makes for particularly compelling reading and describes the circumstances surrounding the attack in vivid detail as presaging a kind of cosmic disaster: •53•
