Lentorama 2006 Saint of the Day: St. Paternus
An Irish or Scottish hermit, he joined a the Abdinghof Monastery in Westphalia and lived as a hermit in one of its cells. He liked this arrangement quite a bit, as evidenced by his refusing to evacuate when the monastery caught fire. Paternus died in the blaze. He was honored for his devotion to the enclosure rule, which seems a little extreme to me, but that's probably why I'm not headed towards sainthood.
