FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 29
Now he was wont to journey through those places chiefly,
and to preach in those villages, which were remotely situated
among steep and rugged hills ; places which others dreaded
to visit, and which forbade the approach of learned men by
their poverty as well as their rusticity. Yet these he cherished
with so great assiduity of teaching, giving himself up gladly
to pious labour, that he often left the monastery and did
not return home for whole weeks, sometimes for two or three,
occasionally even for a whole month, but stayed among the
mountains and called the peasant folk to divine things, by
the word of preaching as well as by the example of virtue. 1

In these times a great and frequent dispute arose about
the observance of Easter, those who had come from Kent or
from France protesting that the Scots celebrated Easter
Sunday contrarily to the custom of the universal church.
Among these the most eager defender of the true Easter
was called Ronan ;
a Scot, it is true, by race, but one trained
in the rule of ecclesiastic truth in districts of France or of
Italy. And he, striving with Finan, corrected many others,
or fired them to a more intelligent searching of the truth :
but Finan he could by no means reform. Nay rather,
1 Boisil's example inspired Cuthbert to his diocesal journeys ; and
through Cuthbert Turgot, S. of D., H.D.E., i, 129.
On one of these journeys Cuthbert " was proceeding southward along
the river Teviot among the mountains, teaching the countryfolk and baptizing.
He had also a boy in his company, walking with him ; and he said
to him, '
Thinkest thou who to-day has prepared a meal for thee ? '
And [the
boy] replied that he knew no relative upon that route, and hoped not for any
kind of compassion from unknown strangers. ..." They were miraculously
fed by an eagle. Anon. Life of St. C., 17-18, E.H.S. Bede, ii, 268-269.

Storm-stayed in mid-winter at Mudpieralegis (Bede has Niduari) in the
Anon. Life,
land of the Picts he was miraculously fed with dolphin cutlets ;

13-14.) The place of this legend is uncertain. There is a Niddrie not far
inland from Abercorn in Manau, at this time (661 X 664) subject to Anglian
rule.
On two occasions of a visit to Tyningham (Tynemouth ?) he performed
miracles ; Bede, V.S.C., III, E.H.S. ed., ii, 53-55, and Metr. Life, III, ibid.,

of the Synod of Whitby. Cf. Eddi, V.W.Ep., X, in Raine's York, i, 14-16.
