Germocus

Saint Germocus (also called Germochus or Germoe) was a saint of the early sixth century who laboured in Cornwall and Brittany. The calendar shows him as born in Ireland, the brother of Saint Breaca, and settled near Mount's Bay in Cornwall. He is said to have been a king and one of the companions of Saint Breaca (Breage), Irish missionaries who landed at Hayle. The legend makes him a king in Ireland.

He is the patron of the parish of Germoe in Cornwall. His shrine in Germoe church was a place of pilgrimage until the Reformation, and in the churchyard stands Saint Germoe's Chair, doubtless connected with his veneration, though in what way is unclear. He is commemorated on 24 June in the Orthodox calendar, as a saint of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar; his local feast falls on 6 May.
