Tower at Glendalough, a ruined monastery south of Dublin that is the former domain of Saint Kevin -- which is a saint's name that, I'm embarrassed to admit, makes me giggle a little. I'm not sure why.
(I mean Francis or Patrick or Claire -- sure, those make sense. But Kevin? Kevin's the jock sprawled over the keg.)
Apparently he was a stubborn guy: According to the Patron Saints Index while praying during Lent with his hands outstretched a blackbird laid an egg in his palm. He kept his hand right where it was until the egg hatched.
