Fergna

Venerable Fergna was abbot of the monastery of Iona in Scotland, called the White. According to Orthodox England he was a relative and disciple of Saint Columba and succeeded him in the leadership of the monastery; his repose is given as 637. The dates are uncertain, since the lists of the abbots of Iona record a Fergnae who died in 623. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 2 March (new calendar).
