Asteroid 3691, Bede, an Amor object, was discovered pn March 29, 1982 by L. E. Gonzalez at Cerro El Roble. It has a period of 2 years, 133 days and is 4.3 kilometers (about 3 1/4 miles) in diameter.
It was named for the medieval English scholar and doctor of the Catholic Church known as St. Bede the Venerable, or The Venerable Bede (c. 672-735), who popularized the A.D. (Anno Domini) reckoning of years since the alleged birth of Jesus developed by Dionysus Exiguus and wrote a history of England from the time of Julius Caesar. The name was suggested in a BBC competition on the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of a school in West Yorkshire named for St. Bede.
