Life
Venerable Herbot is one of the half-legendary Breton saints, with a very widespread popular veneration. Tradition says that he was a hermit who came from Britain to Armorica in the time of the great migrations and settled at Berrien, on the slopes of the Arrée mountains. The peasants regarded him as protector of herds and horses. It is told that two white oxen followed him and, even after his death, lay down each evening in the porch of his chapel. A Life of him in Latin, written late, in the fourteenth or fifteenth century, has come down to us.
He is not officially recognized by the Catholic Church.
