<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After his death, Aidan&#8217;s body was buried at Lindisfarne, beneath the abbey that he had helped found.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aidan_of_Lindisfarne#cite_note-oxford-9">[9]</a></sup> Though his popularity waned in the coming years, &#8220;in the 10th century Glastonbury monks obtained some supposed relics of Aidan; through their influence Aidan&#8217;s feast appears in the early Wessex calendars, which provide the main evidence for his cult after the age of Bede.&#8221;<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aidan_of_Lindisfarne#cite_note-oxford-9">[9]</a></sup></p>
