Scotland, that long after the introduction of Christianity to both countries, the terms Scotus and Scoti applied in use, only to a native or natives of Ireland.
However, those pious brothers and sisters were Scots28 by race, and of a noble family, as declared in their ancient panegyric. Whether their parents had been Christians is not distinctly stated. Still, it is related, that inspired with a desire to gain over souls to Christ in Pagan lands, and if necessary in this endeavour to encounter martyrdom ; the two brothers and their two sisters resolved on leaving their parents, friends, and native country to make that heroic sacrifice. Their parents and friends remonstrated in vain, offering various inducements and persuasions, to divert their minds from such a purpose.
Having borne with this opposition for a long time, in the kingdom of Scotia ; at length, they were resolved to seek escape from such importunities, and all four left their native country to journey afar in strange and distant lands. After enduring much fatigue in their travels and many hardships, through the ProvidenceofGoddirecting,theycametotheterritoryofthePaganTeutons. 3? There the fury of persecution beset the most holy brothers, Guinefortus and Guiniboldus, with their two devoted sisters. These latter were remarkable, not alone for beautiful features, but for their purity of heart and strength of mind. BytheferociousTeutons,thisnoblebandofbrothersandsistershad been subjected to every species of insult and injury. At length, both of the holy sisters were martyred in the territory of the Teutons ; yet, that particular kind of death they endured has not been recorded. However, they thus escaped all temporal townents, and passed to the embraces of their Divine spouse, Jesus Christ. Their sacred remains appear to have rested in the place of their martyrdom, although no knowledge of the exact spot has been preserved.
The two surviving brothers grieved that their beloved sisters had been thus
deprived of life, or rather that these had preceded them, in obtaining the glorious crown of martyrdom. The brothers even reproached the cruel Teutons, according to the Legend, that they were not offered up as sacrifices atthesametimeforthecauseofChrist. Forusingthesewords,althoughthreats and angry manifestations were returned, yet the Pagans could not but admire their wonderful fortitude and courage. They deigned, even, to ask for an ex- planation of the Faith that was in them ; and, the holy brothers gratified them in that respect, but apparently without making much impression on their obdurate and stony hearts. Nevertheless, the Teutons persisted in re- quiring that they should offer sacrifice to idols. The holy brothers then declared their resolution to die, rather than do so.
Whereupon, admiring their resolution, and knowing them to be good men, the Teutons would not
put them to death. 3°

CHAPTER II.
THE BROTHER SAINTS GUINIPORT AND GUINIBOLD LEAVE GERMANY FOR NORTHERN ITALY—THEY ARE ARRESTED AT COMO, AND GUINIBOLD IS THERE MARTYRED— GUINIFORT ESCAPES TO MILAN, WHERE HE IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH—LEFT FOR DEAD, HE NEVERTHELESS SURVIVES AND ENTERS PAVIA, WHERE HE DIES OF HIS WOUNDS—HE IS BURIED IN THE CHURCH OF ST. ROMANUS—MIRACLES WROUGHT AT HIS TOMB—COMMEMORATION OF HIS FEAST—CONCLUSION.
After the death of their sisters, the two noble brothers, Guinifort and
1
Guinibold, filled with the heroic desire to gain like them the crown of
martyrdom, resolved on travelling to Italy, where persecution raged against the Christians at that period. This seems to have been during the time of the Pagan Emperors ; and before the Arians had attempted to spread their errors there, notwithstanding a doubtful observation contained in the Acts of our saints, which might lead the reader to suppose that their persecutors were heretics. 9
Their journey was made accordingly to the city of Como,3 where the Roman authority then prevailed, and where the followers of Christ were daily subjected to torments and death. However, they were not afraid to appear in the public places of the pagans, at Como,* and to announce themselves Christians, while reproaching the lictors for great cruelties towards their brethrenintheFaith. s Totheauthoritiestheywerethendenounced,andthe Praetororderedthemtobearrestedandbroughtbeforehim. Atthattime, Guinifort and Guinibold were found preaching the doctrines of Christ to a great multitude of willing listeners in the public streets. However, the brothers did not obey that first summons, and [the Praetor's emissaries returned to him with a report, that they disregarded his threats, and that
6
nearly all the inhabitants followed them.
VVhereupon, the chief magistrate at Como ordered a great number of armed men to proceed thither, and making them prisoners, to bring them into his presence. Being asked whence they came, and why they attempted to seduce the people, the brothers courageously replied: "We are Scots by race, and Christians by profession ; but, we seduce not your people, rather do we invite the sons of God to the country of eternal happiness. " Then the Prefect asked whom did they regard as the sons of God, when they immedi-
ately replied,

to idols.

blood. " Filled with rage, on receiving such a reply, the tyrant commanded them to be led through the public streets of that city, and afterwards to be
decapitated. Thinking that by ordering one to be sacrificed in presence of the other, the survivor might be moved through fear of death to apostatize ; while the brothers were congratulating each other, that they were to suffer martyrdom together, Gunibold was beheaded,1 at the place of public execution, and Guinifort was released for that time. During the night, the Christians came stealthily and removed the remains of the martyr Gunibold for interment. From that to the present period, his sacred relics have remained at Como.
It does not seem likely, that Guinifort long survived. However, filled with zeal to preach the words of life, he went alone to Milan, where he con- verted many to the true Faith, for which he still desired to suffer, and to share the glorious crowns of his beloved sisters and brother. 8 Nor were his hopes long deferred, for having been apprehended once more, Gunifort was again brought before the judges, and ordered by them to sacrifice before their
idols. * He " I desire most replied :

departed.
After remaining for some time in that state of helplessness, it pleased the
AlmightytogiveGuinefortstrengthtorise; yet,althoughthusseverelyinjured and acutely suffering, with arrows fixed in his body and which he could not ex- tract, he was enabled nevertheless to reach the noble city of Papia.

dwelt near the Church of St. Romanus, received him with great charity and
veneration, while she tended him with great care for the three days he survived
in her house. But then his time had arrived to receive the eternal crown,
and departing this life, his soul ascended to join his sisters and brother in
Paradise. At that moment, the wonders of the Almighty were manifested on
behalf of his devoted servant ; for the Angels of Heaven stood around the
sacred remains, filling the whole house with resplendent light, and with a
most fragrant odour. At the same time were heard these joyous words of
Divine " Blessed be the Lord, who is in His saints. " praise : always glorious
In the Panegyric of St. Guinefort, we are told, that he was interred on the eleventh of the September Kalends (August 22nd), in the Church of St. Mary, near the Church of the great St. Romanus, where afterwards the Almighty was pleased to work many miracles, in honour of His holy Martyr. Many blind persons visiting his tomb were restored to sight. Numbers of lepers and other infirm persons, on going there, were also restored to health, through the prayers of St. Guinifort. These miracles shed no slight lustre and renown on Pavia, the city in which his relics had been preserved. Without the walls of Pavia is a church dedicated to St. Gunifort but at
;
Milan, where he suffered for the Faith, although the common people usually called him Bonifort, little was known regarding him, and such was likewise the
case in respect to his brother the Martyr Guinibold at Como. ^
The present holy Martyr is commemorated in the Roman Martyr-
1
ology, * on the 22nd August. Besides, on this same day, various
ecclesiastical writers have noted his feast, which appears to have been celebrated, not on the day of his death, but on that of his interment at Pavia. AmongthesewritersaretheauthorofhisancientActs,PietroPaulo

Among the courageous and zealous Irish Martyrs who suffered for the
Faith, the holy brothers Guinefort and Gunibold, with their two nameless sisters, deserve to be held in especial veneration. From the society of family and of friends, and from the attractions of home, they resolved to take up their cross and to follow Christ. Faithful to Him in their lives and deaths, their sacrifice was accepted, and their final reward had been secured, when their sufferings were over in this world, and crowned with the laurel of martyrdom,

quite likely, that his religious profession must have been made under St.

pear, that St. Beoghna was elected to succeed him. However, he did not long
survive his illustrious predecessor. The age of Christ, when the holy man
resigned his spirit to heaven, was 605, according to the Annals of the Four
Masters. 6 At this date of August 22nd, in the Martyrology of Donegal,? we
likewise find a festival recorded, in honour of Beoghna, Abbot of Bennchor,
after Comhgall. In that carefully compiled Calendar, referring to the
Diocese of Down, Connor, and Dromore, his feast has been registered for

The nave, on the outside, measures thirty-two feet in length by twenty-two feet in breadth. The outside wall of the choir measures twenty- eight feet, in length, by sixteen feet, in breadth. The inside of the building is filled with loose stones and rubbish. A narrow low door, now stopped up
with masonry, appears beneath an overshadowing mass of ivy, on the west- ern gable ; and a door seems to have been subsequently opened, on the southern side wall, probably, when the former one had been closed.
