32. SAINT CREDAN, ABBOT OF EVESHAM

Our holy Father Credan was abbot of Evesham in the second half of the eighth century. Almost nothing is known about his life. His relics were subjected to ordeal by fire by unbelieving Normans in 1077, but emerged unscathed. In the translation that followed they were observed to shine like gold.

St. Credan is commemorated on August 19.

Holy Father Credan, pray to God for us!
