Life
Disibod was an Irish monk and hermit. He went to Germany with several companions and founded a monastery on a hill in the valley of the Nahe near Bingen, which became known as Disibodenberg. He is said to have lived from 619 to about 674. He is first mentioned in a martyrology of Hrabanus Maurus in the ninth century, and Saint Hildegard of Bingen composed a Life of him around 1170. He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
His commemoration falls on 8 September (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 21 September of the civil calendar.
