[[Image:St_Donald_of_Ogilvy.jpg|right|thumb|St Donald, Confessor of Ogilvy. Written by Nicholas Papas.]] Our venerable and God-bearing Father '''Donald of Ogilvy''', [[Confessor]] of Scotland (d. circa 716) (also ''Donivald, Donevald, Domhnall, Donwald'') was a widower who lived a [[monasticism|monastic]] life with his nine daughters. His [[feast day]] is [[July 15]]. St. Donald lived in in Olgivy, in Forfarshire, Scotland, in the early part of the 8th century. Upon the death of his wife, he and his nine daughters began to live a monastic lifestyle at home under his direction, cultivating the land by hand, and eating barely bread and water once a day. After St. Donald's repose, his daughters all entered a [[monastery]] in Abernethy, founded by Ss. [[Darlugdach]] and [[Brigid of Kildaire|Brigid]], where they became known as the [[Nine Maidens]], or the Nine Holy Virgins. ==Sources== *[http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=621 St. Donald] Cathoic Online: Saints & Angels *[http://www.comeandseeicons.com/d/inp17.htm Orthodox Icon of St. Donald] Come and See Icons ==External links== *[[w:Saint Donald|Donald of Ogilvy]] Wikipedia *[http://www.allmercifulsavior.com/icons/Icons-Donald.htm Icon of St. Donald of Ogilvie] *[http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0715.htm#domh Donald of Ogilvy (AC)] Saints of July 15 *[http://www.orthodoxengland.org.uk/saintsd.htm Donald (Donivald) July 15] Orthodox Europe: Latin Saints of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Rome *[http://www.sacred-texts.com/wmn/fow/fow23.htm Chapter XXI: Sister Legends] from ''Folk-Lore of Women'' by Thomas Firminger Thiselton-Dyer, 1906. *[http://books.google.com/books?id=4j42AAAAMAAJ Chapter XIX: Legend of the Nine Maidens] from ''The Vale of Strathmore: Its Scenes and Legends'' by James Cargill Guthrie, 1875. pp. 264-6. *[http://books.google.com/books?id=3LkHAAAAQAAJ The Sidlaw District—Glammis] from ''Historic scenes in Forfarshire'' by William Marshall, 1875. pp. 126-7. *[http://books.google.com/books?id=C51JAAAAMAAJ Chapter IV: Finhaven and Oathlaw, Section I.: The nine maidens] from ''The History and Traditions of the Land of the Lindsays in Angus and Mearns'' by Andrew Jervise, James Gammack, 1882. p. 162.
