Adelphus of Remiremont

Saint Adelphus of Remiremont, a venerable father, was a monk and abbot of the monastery of Habendum, founded at Remiremont by Saint Romaric. He reposed in 670 and is remembered on 11 September.

He was trained at Luxeuil, where he also retired at the end of his life and died. A 16th-⁠century tapestry kept at Saverne (Bas-⁠Rhin) illustrates his life, and the church of Neuwiller-⁠lès-⁠Saverne bears his name. He was canonized together with Saint Romaric and Saint Amatus of Sion, on 13 November 1049, by the Lorrainer pope Leo IX, so by a papal act of the Western Church.
