St. Hieu of Tadcaster, Abbess of Tadcaster, Yorkshire, Who Was Tonsured by Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne --------------------------------------------------------------------- Born in Northumbria, England; died c. 657. Saint Hieu received the veil from Saint Aidan, who appointed her abbess of Tadcaster abbey in Yorkshire. Some believe that Saint Hieu is identical to Saint Bega (Benedictines). Troparion of St Hieu tone 8 In Tadcaster's Monastery, O Abbess Hieu,/ thou didst shine with the virtues of asceticism and humility./ Pray that we also may follow the example of thy great teacher, the Hierarch Aidan,/ and live lives of spiritual struggle that our souls may be saved. St. Lolan (Lolanus) of Scotland, Bishop ----------------------------------------------------- Died c. 1034. The exact dates and history of Saint Lolanus are shrouded by time. He was a Scottish bishop, whom legend makes a native of Galilee. He left his homeland to preach the Gospel in Scotland during the 5th [?] century (Benedictines).
