Baeda II
Martyrological notice
Pilgrimage. — The Irish passion for pilgrimage lasted from the sixth to at least the ninth century. The subject is well dealt with in the Gaelic Life of St. Columba, Lismore Lives^ 11. 698-720, and in Plummer's Baeda II. 170. In the present work we read not only of pilgrimages to Glastonbury and Rome, but to places in Ireland, such as Ferns and Rathen. Pilgrimage to Mael- ruain's grave is suggested in p. 26. But the great religious migration from Ireland to the Continent, which prevailed in the eighth and following centuries, was viewed with disfavour by Maelruain and the sages (sruithi) whom he consulted.2
