One of Ireland’s most important saints is little known outside of the Emerald Isle. Everyone knows about St. Patrick, and most have heard of Saints Brigit, Brendan, and Columba. But equally crucial in the history of Irish Catholicism was the mysterious warrior-saint, Enda of Aran.
He was born a prince sometime around 450 A.D. Enda grew up loving power and the sword, but by the time he died decades later, he had transformed his life, and with it, the lives of countless others whom he led to Christ.
