Photographer.Andreas F. Borchert St Finian is the boy in this picture.
Skellig Michael has been on my bucket list of places to visit for years. The sheer majesty of the West coast of county Kerry stays with you long after you leave it. Venerable Finnian must have seen something special there too.
St Finnian had a great piety and zeal for Christ from an early age. He went on to become one of the patriarchs of Irish monasticism. He founded 3 churches before going to Wales to study.
You can still visit the monastic houses at Skellig Michael. For those who can't visit here is a link to the gallery of UNESCO.

As a last thing I love this song by Loreena McKennit Called Skellig (images put together by PhilipApart).
