Saint
Brendan
,
son
of
Finnlug
Ua
Alta
,
was
born
in
the
marshy
district
of
Munster
.
He
became
famous
because
of
his
great
abstinence
and
his
many
other
virtues
,
and
he
was
an
abbot
;
father
to
nearly
three
thousand
monks
.
While
he
was
fighting
his
spiritual
war
,
at
a
place
called
Ardfert-Brendan
,
he
was
visited
one
evening
by
a
priest
called
Barinthus
,
who
was
a
relative
of
King
Niall
.
When
Brendan
asked
Barinthus
questions
,
his
visitor
couldn’t
talk
properly
:
all
he
could
do
was
weep
,
and
stretch
himself
out
on
the
ground
,
and
pray
.
Brendan
pulled
him
up
,
hugged
him
,
and
said
,
‘Father
,
why
are
you
so
upset
?
Surely
you
have
visited
us
to
bring
us
comfort
!
You’re
upsetting
the
other
monks
!
In
God’s
name
,
tell
us
what
you
know
,
and
refresh
our
souls
with
stories
of
your
adventures
at
sea
!

And so Barinthus told them about a certain island .
