Gregory of Einsiedeln

Holy Venerable Gregory of Einsiedeln was an Englishman who, on pilgrimage to Rome, became a monk. On his way home he stopped in 949 at the monastery of Einsiedeln in Switzerland, where he later became abbot, and the monastery flourished under him. He reposed in 996. He is a saint of the undivided Church, known from the Western calendars. One calendar gives 945 as the date, which does not fit his arrival in 949.

He is commemorated on 8 November, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
