Saint Bede
The Venerable Bede, or Baeda, lived from approximately 672 to 735, doing most of his work in Jarrow, England. The most famous of his works is the “Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum”, a history of the Christian Church in England from the beginning up to his days. However, he was a prolific scholar who wrote on many topics including history, theology, science, and geography.
His feast is celebrated on May 27.
