3rd JUNE: ST KEVIN, ABBOT; SECOND PATRON OF DUBLIN

-thread-
1. St Kevin (Coemgen), Abbot of Glendalough, Ireland, was born about 498, the date being very obscure; he died 3 June 618. He was baptised by St Cronan and educated by St Petroc, a Briton. #StKevin #Glendalough Image
2. From his twelfth year he studied under monks, and eventually embraced the monastic state. Subsequently he founded the famous monastery of Glendalough (the Valley of the Two Lakes), the parent of several other monastic foundations.
3. Having firmly established his community, he retired into solitude for four years, and only returned to Glendalough at the earnest entreaty of his monks.
