Not sure if she would like being called a "nun", which is a Roman term. Hild was a Christian leader in the Celtic Church that kept the Biblical Sabbath instead of the Roman "Sun"-day and remembered the Lord's death on the Biblical date of Passover rather that the new invention of "Easter" by the Church in Rome. The Synod of Whitby opposed Hild's beliefs and practices and once the king was swayed by the Roman representatives, the British churches became Roman, which has remained until today, including those who term themselves as 'Protestant.' They did not debate the different dates of "Easter" as you say, but rather the Celts opposed the Roman imposition of "Easter" to replace the Biblical Passover date that Jesus observed. The Celts would not use the name of a pagan deity ("Eostre/Eastre") to name a Christian festival and would not have called the first day of the week in honour of the "sun" ("Sun"-day), rather they gave glory to the "Son." Neither did they uphold the Roman inventions of the Mass of Christ on December 25th ("Christ-Mass"), or the invention of "Lent" and other man-made observances, all of which are now upheld without question in most western churches.

Another reason he may have been left at the monastery is those institutions were often seen as stable and enduring. We often think about the Vikings sacking monasteries and churches like the one at Lindisfarne, but those were the exceptions. Monasteries were often quite safe as attacking one could endanger one's immortal soul. Plus, besides working their own land, the monks could depend on locals to contribute some of their crops ensuring a supply of food that many families may not have been able to guarantee. Plus, dedicating a child to a religious institution was not an uncommon one. We see that occurring in the ancient world with the Vestal Virgins and then Samuel in the Old Testament. Obviously not everyone participated in it, but it was far from unheard especially given that the Rule of Saint Benedict (quite popular in England at that time) made stipulations regarding it.

Thank you so much for this inspiring video about this beautiful saint. Working on the illustration of him just now
I also want to mention that Bede said twice in his writings that he was married. Many people assume this is metaphor but having read the sections (in modern English) I think he was being literal. Given how little we know about that era and the fact that even Catholic priests were not prohibited from marrying until centuries later this seems plausible to me.

Nicely done video. I did want to note that learning the middle ages was based on the Classics from Greece and Rome. The ancient Greeks not only knew the Earth was a sphere but they had measured it to within 2% of its actual size. Not bad considering they did it with sticks, string and shadows. So Bede's understanding that the world was a a sphere would not have been unusual.

Learned more about Bede from this short video than in almost anything I've read over the years, especially in the way it brings his long-vanished world alive--and at the original sites, too! Was unaware he now seems to be a canonized saint, as I thought the status of "venerable" was below sainthood. Also didn't realize these structures from his time still existed, even if partially-reconstructed. I'd like to read and/or listen to at least some of Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica, something I've never done, to get a true sampling of, and feel for, Dark Age Britain, a subject which has long-intrigued and fascinated me. No doubt this Benedictine monk was a man of his time--that is to say, thoroughly medieval, but, judging from this video, he also saw into the future, to an age far-removed from his own, when his historical writings would be of immense value to generations of later centuries; otherwise, he knew, perceived, or sensed, that all this history would be lost forever. He considered it his primary duty, aside from serving God, to preserve such priceless information. You certainly conveyed here how grateful we are!

The Irish taught the English how to read and write, gave them Christianity and stone houses. The English in return a few centuries later invaded Ireland and murdered millions of Irishmen.

oh fuck off. I'm Irish from Ireland and I dont care about what happened centuries ago. we Irish murdered countless English too, its not like the entirety of ireland can take credit for teaching the English and its not like the entirety of the english are to blame for a tiny minority of the population who committed atrocities in Ireland. Likewise not all Irish people are to blame for the irish raids which slaughtered innocent english people and enslaved them in the 6th and 7th century. Nor are all Irish to blame for the IRA blowing up English children. Why do Peopl like you have to ruin everything.
