Saint Fursey  (600 -650 AD) was said to have been something of an ascetic, wearing thin clothing year round. Aspirants came in numbers to place themselves under his rule, but he wished to secure also some of his relatives for the new monastery. For this purpose he set out with some monks for Munster, but on coming near his father's home he was seized with an apparently mortal illness. He fell into a trance from the ninth hour of the day to cock-crow, and while in this state received the first of the ecstatic visions.  He was an Irish Monk who did much to establish Christianity throughout the British Isles.   http://www.biblicalaudio.com/index.htm
