Today we celebrate our Venerable Father Kevin of Glendalough. Saint Kevin was a pre-schism Western Saint who lived an ascetic life in the Celtic Isles. The most well known story about Saint Kevin is when he was praying in the wilderness with arms outstretched for months on end. A bird came and made its nest in one of his hands and laid her eggs. Saint Kevin, although ready to finish his prayers, remained with arms outstretched until the eggs hatched and the little birds flew away. When reproached by an Angel for doing this, he humbly replied that if God looks after the small birds of the air, so too should he care for God's creation. May he intercede for us all + #saint #kevin #saintkevin #kevinofglendalough #glendalough #ireland #irish #celtic #isles #celticisles #monastic #ascetic #bird #nest #birds #God #prayer #faith #angel #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Glendalough, Co.
