Saint Enda of Aran (Éanna, Éinne or Endeus, died 530 AD) is an Irish saint. His feast day is 21 March. Enda was a warrior-king of Oriel in Ulster, converted by his sister, Saint Fanchea, an abbess. About 484 he established the first Irish monastery at Killeaney on Inis Mór. St Enda is described as the "patriarch of Irish monasticism". Most of the great Irish saints had some connection with Aran. Early life and conversion According to the ''Martyrdom of Oengus'', Enda was an Irish prince, son of Conall Derg of Oriel (Ergall) in Ulster. Legend has it that when his father died, he succeeded him as king and went off to fight his enemies. The soldier Enda was converted by his sister, Saint Fanchea, an abbess.

Saint Enda's Park
St. Enda's Park () is a mid-size public park in Rathfarnham, Dublin, Ireland. The park, which is approximately in size, contains the Pearse Museum and a café. It is held by the Irish state, and managed by the Office of Public Works. History St. Enda's was previously a private residence, and then a school. The property began as The Hermitage, the home of Dublin dentist Edward Hudson. The main house was built in 1760. The property was taken over by Patrick Pearse, later one of the leaders of the Easter Rising of 1916, and he ran a school there, St. Enda's School (or ''Scoil Éanna'' in Irish). Pearse, who was a teacher, bought the building in 1910 as his school in Ranelagh was getting too small. Pearse considered the site "ideal" as his curriculum had a heavy emphasis on nature. In the school, his brother, Willie Pearse, taught art and his sister Mary taught Irish. The Irish poets, Joseph Plunkett and Thomas MacDonagh also taught at the school. Both were executed after the 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
