Tuda from Lindisfarne

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tuda of Lindisfarne († around 664), also known as Saint Tuda, was abbot and bishop of Lindisfarne in 664 .

Tuda grew up in Ireland but was a strict believer in Roman Catholic practices. He wore a Roman tonsure and celebrated Easter according to the Roman calendar. His episcopal ordination took place in Ireland. Tuda succeeded the Celtic-Christian Bishop Colman in office.

It is recorded that Tuda became a bishop in 664. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle contains in its section for 656 an entry for the clergyman of Medhamsted (or Peter-borough), who names Tuda among the consecrators.

The same chronicle records in 664 that Tuda died of the plague and was buried in Wayleigh . His feast day is October 21.
