Life
Blessed Adam of Saxony (Adam of Loccum) was a German Benedictine-Cistercian monk and priest, who died of natural causes in 1210 in Loccum Monastery. He was a novice and sacristan of the monastery church, had great devotion to the Mother of God, and is said to have had visions of the Most Holy Virgin and to have worked miracles.
He is honoured in the western tradition, above all by the Catholic Church, which commemorates him on 22 December, and appears in the Ukrainian tradition. He has no Orthodox synodal canonization; the sources consulted say no more.
