Pray tell brother how you came to wear the habit?

An excellent tale, bearn. When I was ten and five years, mine fæder purchaſed þe flock of anoþer man. Þis man was fæder himſelf to a comely ſon. Þe boy was mine ealdor by two or three years. We two quickly became friends, and I haþ admired him greatly þis long time. Þe þird autumn of our friendship, þis younge man donned the habit and left our lonely valley. I wished to be wiþ him, mine dear friend and broþer, ſo I followed þe paþ of our LORD to Broþer Kevin. It was only upon my arrival at Glendalough, I haþ come to know my dear friend followed the LORD to a different broþerhood. I haþ not uttered his own name in four and twenty years becauſe of my ſadneſs. But, I haþ enjoyed a quiet veſper wiþ Broþer Gilla Críst fore twenty ſummers now. AMEN.

What is your favorite holiday

Mine favorite Holy Day is Easter. Without the Resurrection of the LORD, I wouldst not be on my current path of Christ. Mine second favorite Holy Day is the FEAST OF KEVIN.
