Description
Before the enigmatic Irish bishop Aidan died in 651 A.D., he was a noted missionary hero and a friend to both king and commoner who brought Christianity to Northumbria in England. When King Oswald fought his first battle in 633, he erected a wooden cross before the battle near Hexham. Once victory was his and the kingdom secured, he sent to Iona for a bishop. The king himself has been converted by the monks of St. Columba at Ioan. Aidan was selected and sent. So began the mystical Celtic Christian influence in Anglo-Saxon England. Aidan is a part of Vision Video's "Memorable Leaders in Christian History" video series and presents Aidan's experience and development, his Irish role as "Anmchara" (soul friend) to the king, his spirituality, and its inspiration for the modern world. Aidan is superbly produced, wonderfully photographed, brilliantly narrated, and presents 26 minutes of informative and engaging entertainment for the Christian viewer.
