And where would a "Celtic" saint come from?
As noted in an earlier post, there is no such thing as a single "Celtic
culture." The term identifies a group of peoples who spoke related
languages. But to say a saint was "Celtic" is a bit like saying he was
Latin or Slavic or even possibly Indo-European. ;)
