Excerpt from The Golden Days of the Early English Church, Vol. 3: From the Arrival of Theodore to the Death of BedeWhile his companions were asleep, Cuthberht, we are told, saw a sudden light streaming down from above, in which were choirs of angels coming down from heaven and then returning to their heavenly home escorting a soul of exceeding bright ness, and he judged that he must have been either a bishop or some holy man among the faithful. When morning came it turned out, so says the saga, that Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne had died that very night and at the time when Cuthberht had his vision. The shepherd boy-thereupon determined to abandon his occupation and to enter a monastery.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
