Saint of the day: Herbert

Not much has been recorded about the life of St. Herbert. He was a hermit in England and a close friend of St. Cuthbert. Herbert was a priest, and lived as a recluse on an island in Lake Derwentwater, England. The island is now called St. Herbert’s, in his honor.

St. Herbert asked to die on the same day as St. Cuthbert, and God granted him that request.
