 Saint Mark the Ascetic


Also known as

• Mark the Wrestler

• Mark the Hermit


Profile

Fifth century monk. May have been a disciple of Saint John Chrysostom, and friend of Saint Nilus the Ascetic, but it's questionable. Wrote over 200 texts on spiritual law, baptism, repentance, grace and holy works, and other topics. May have been the abbot at Ancyra, but later became a desert hermit. Opposed the Messalian heresy; it taught that each person has a personal demon that even baptism cannot conquer. Mark wrote against the Nestorians. Said to have known the Scriptures by heart. Legend says he once cured a hyena that had been born blind; not sure why.

புனித_பைரன் (-480)

மார்ச் 05

இவர் (#StPiran) அயர்லாந்தைச் சார்ந்தவர்.

தனது உயர் கல்வியை உரோமையில் கற்று, சொந்த நாட்டிற்குத் திரும்பிய இவர் பல வல்ல செயல்களைச் செய்தார். குறிப்பாக இவர் நோயாளர்கள் பலரை நலமாக்கினார். 

இதனால் இவர்மீது பொறாமை கொண்ட மன்னன் தனது வீரர்களிடம், இவரது கழுத்தில் எந்திரக் கல்லைக் கட்டிக் கடலில் ஆழ்த்தச் சொன்னார். அவர்களும் அவ்வாறே செய்தார்கள். ஆனால், இவர் கடலில் மூழ்காமல் கோன்வாலுக்கு அருகில் இருந்த கடற்கரையில் ஒதுங்கினார்.

அங்கு இவர் ஒரு கோயிலைக் கட்டி, கடவுளின் வார்த்தையை மக்களுக்கு அறிவித்து வந்தார். இதனால் பலரும் இயேசுவில் நம்பிக்கை கொண்டார்கள். 

இவ்வாறு கடவுளின் வார்த்தையை மக்களுக்கு அறிவித்து, வல்ல செயல்களைச் செய்து வந்த இவர் 480 ஆம் ஆண்டு இறையடி சேர்ந்தார்.

Profile

Piran's family origins are obscure; tradition says he came from Ireland. Spent his youth in south Wales where he founded a church in Cardiff. Received religious schooling at the monastery of Saint Cadog at Llancarfon, where he met Saint Finnian of Clonard. The two returned together to Ireland where Finnian founded six monasteries, including his most famous one at Clonard. Piran lived there before Saint Enda on Aran Island, and then Saint Senan on Scattery Island. He founded his own community at Clonmacnoise, "Ireland's University".



Cornish legend says Piran was captured in his old age by pagan Irish, jealous of his miraculous powers, especially his ability to heal. They tied a millstone around his neck, and threw him off a cliff into the sea during a storm. As Piran hit the water the storm abated and the millstone bobbed to the surface like a cork. On his stone raft, Piran sailed for Cornwall, landed at Perran Beach, built a small chapel on Penhale Sands, and made his first converts - a badger, a fox, and a bear. He lived there for years as a hermit, working miracles for the locals.


Piran founded churches at Perran-Uthno and Perran-Arworthal, a chapel at Tintagel, and a holy-well called the "Venton-Barren" at Probus. He made trips to Brittany where he worked with Saint Cai. Arthurian tradition from Geoffrey of Monmouth says he was chaplain to King Arthur, and Archbishop of York after Saint Samson was exiled by Saxon invasions, though it is doubtful he ever took up his See.


Piran's patronage of Cornwall derives from his popularity with the Cornish tin-miners. Legend says that Piran discovered tin in Cornwall when he used a large black rock to build a fireplace, and found that the heat made a trickle of pure white metal ooze from the stone. He shared this discovery with the locals, providing the Cornish with a lucrative living. The people were so delighted that they held a sumptuous feast where the wine flowed like water. Piran was fond of the odd tipple, resulting in the Cornish phrase "As drunk as a Perraner". The trickled of white metal upon a black background remains as the White Cross of Saint Piran on the Cornish National flag.


Piran died at his little hermitage near the beach. His relics were a great draw to pilgrims but, due to inundation by the sands, they were moved inland to the parish church of Perran-Zabulo, built to house them


Died

5 March 480 of natural causes

Profile

Joined Franciscans at age 16. Ascetic. First Italian to follow the reform movement of Saint Peter Alcantara who sought to make the Order more devoted to penance and austerity. John had such a reputation for holiness that his superiors put him in charge of establishing a new friary before he was ordained. He joined the work crew, serving as a hod carrier, then a mason. Novice master, guardian, and provincial of the Order. When his term as provincial expired, he dedicated himself to hearing confessions and practising mortification, two concerns contrary to the spirit of the dawning Age of Enlightenment. Had the gifts of prophecy and healing, and would swoon into ecstasies; known to levitate and bilocate.
