Not sure if she would like being called a "nun", which is a Roman term. Hild was a Christian leader in the Celtic Church that kept the Biblical Sabbath instead of the Roman "Sun"-day and remembered the Lord's death on the Biblical date of Passover rather that the new invention of "Easter" by the Church in Rome. The Synod of Whitby opposed Hild's beliefs and practices and once the king was swayed by the Roman representatives, the British churches became Roman, which has remained until today, including those who term themselves as 'Protestant.' They did not debate the different dates of "Easter" as you say, but rather the Celts opposed the Roman imposition of "Easter" to replace the Biblical Passover date that Jesus observed. The Celts would not use the name of a pagan deity ("Eostre/Eastre") to name a Christian festival and would not have called the first day of the week in honour of the "sun" ("Sun"-day), rather they gave glory to the "Son." Neither did they uphold the Roman inventions of the Mass of Christ on December 25th ("Christ-Mass"), or the invention of "Lent" and other man-made observances, all of which are now upheld without question in most western churches.
Excellent visit video on Saint Hilda. Please make more!
Waw I love to hear more
