Saint
Brendan
,
son
of
Findlug
,
descendant
of
Alte
,
was
born
among
the
Eoganacht
of
Loch
Léin
in
the
land
of
the
men
of
Munster
.
He
was
a
man
of
great
abstinence
,
famous
for
his
mighty
works
and
father
of
nearly
three
thousand
monks
.
When
he
was

the

,

a
place
called

of
Brendan
,
there
arrived
one
evening
one
of
the
fathers
whose
name
was
Barrind
,
a
descendant
of
Niall
.

Rather should you give joy to the brothers . Show us the word of God and nourish our souls with the varied wonders that you saw in the ocean . "
When Saint Brendan had finished his remarks , Saint Barrind began to describe a certain island , saying : …
