Bodian

Bodian (Bodianus, Bozian, Oyen) is a more or less mythical Breton saint, not officially recognized by the Catholic Church. He is said to have been of Welsh origin and to have lived in the 6th century in Brittany as a hermit, but tradition has kept no precise memory of him. He has no official cult today, but his name is found in some place names and in memories of ancient veneration: Loc-⁠Bodian, a hamlet of the commune of Hanvec placed under his protection, where he is still honoured, with a local feast on 15 March; and the chapel of Lanvoy in the same commune, whose name comes from Loc Oyen, that is "the consecrated place of Oyen", another name of Bodian. Venerated locally, without synodal canonization.
