Life
Saint Gibardus of Luxeuil was abbot of the monastery of Luxeuil in France in the ninth century. During the invasion of the Huns (according to our source), he and his monks fled from the monastery, but the barbarians found them and put them to death, around 888. He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 7 April (new style; 20 April in the old style).
