Life
Holy Venerable Anglinus of Stavelot was the tenth abbot of Stavelot-Malmédy near Liège in Belgium and reposed in 746, according to some sources, or around 768, according to the calendars. He is a saint of the undivided Church.
According to the documents of Stavelot Abbey, he was abbot for forty-four years, but according to those preserved in Liège, twenty-two. He was a councillor to Plectrude, wife of Pepin of Herstal, the de facto ruler of Francia. On land granted by her at Xhignesse he built a church, the precursor of today's Church of Saint Peter, and was supposedly buried there. He worked to restore discipline in Stavelot and trained a new generation of disciples, among them Saint Agilulf of Cologne. He was the first abbot not to carry the double title of bishop and abbot. A document dated 15 August 747 records that the holdings of Lierneux were handed back to Stavelot Abbey by Carloman during his abbacy.
He is commemorated on 28 October, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
