St. Columba's hut found

[Brian37]

Archaeologists have located one of the most important buildings in the history of Western European Christianity – but it’s not a vast cathedral or an impressive tomb, but merely a humble wattle and daub hut on a remote windswept island.

Using radiocarbon dating techniques and other evidence, the  scholars –  from the University of Glasgow – believe they have demonstrated that the tiny five-metre square building was almost certainly the daytime home of early medieval Scotland’s most important saint, St Columba.

They found Tut's Tomb, and? That discovery didn't make Ra, Osiris or Horus real.  Finding a "Saint's" home doesn't make magic babies or zombie god's real. FYI the history of "saints" is actually rooted in the dark ages and abuse of Europe by that institution in the name of dominionism. Not that the Vatican still isn't saying and doing stupid shit today.

Uh-huh.

The main source of information about Saint Columba's life is the Vita Columbae (i.e. "Life of Columba"), a hagiography written in the style of "saint's lives" narratives that had become widespread throughout medieval Europe. Compiled and drafted by scribes and clergymen, these accounts were written in Latin and served as written collections of the deeds and miracles attributed to the saint, both during his or her life or after death. The canonization of a saint, especially one who had lived on the fringes of the medieval Christian world like Saint Columba, required a well-written hagiography to be submitted to Rome, but popular belief and local cults of sainthood often led to the veneration of these men and women without official approval from the Catholic Church.

Writing a century after the death of Saint Columba, the author Adomnán (also known as Eunan), served as the ninth Abbot of Iona until his death in 704 A.D

Check out what xtian scholar Candida Moss has to say about this hagiography horseshit.  Also note, his biography was not written until a century after his supposed death.  Hey!  Just like fucking jesus!!!  And fucking mohammed!!!!

Funny how that keeps happening.

Thanks for the heads up on Candida Moss's book, "The Myth Of Persecution". Still reading it, great stuff.
