Aidan, St (d. 651). First abbot of
Lindisfarne, site of his see (634–51). Sent from
Iona, replacing a severer colleague, to work closely with King
Oswald in restoring Christianity in Northumbria, Aidan's legacy was profound: Lindisfarne, and his royal pupil
Hilda were stars in the later 7th-cent. firmament. Aidan's rejection of worldly behaviour and elevated associations partly explains the eclipse of his cult by
Cuthbert's and his relative obscurity. We depend on
Bede, in whose portrait, combining contemplation, industry in evangelization (royal estates providing his bases for preaching tours), study, sternness, asceticism, moderation, humility, and discretion, he embodies the episcopal ideals of Pope Gregory I and is a model for Bede's slothful contemporaries. His only defect was failure to accept the Roman Easter. Here Bede may have been defending Lindisfarne against
Wilfrid's negative assessment of its traditions as expounded, apparently, at the Synod of
Whitby. Some of Aidan's relics were taken from Lindisfarne to Ireland by Colman, and his cult was revived at
Glastonbury in the 10th cent.
