Life
Columb the Smith was an Irish saint of the early Middle Ages, perhaps of the time of Saint Columba, remembered on 7 June. Little is known of him. He may be the Columb Cóilrigin of Adomnán's Life of Columba: a blacksmith in Mide who lived by works of charity and gave to the poor all he earned. On the day he died, Columba, at Iona, saw his soul carried up to heaven by angels.
