Jacut and Guethenoc

The Holy Venerables Jacut and Guethenoc were brothers, sons of Saints Fragan and Gwen and brothers of Saint Gwenaloe. According to tradition their family fled from Cornwall to Brittany on account of a plague, and the brothers grew up at Ploufragan near Saint-⁠Brieuc. They were disciples of Saint Budoc, who taught them on the island of Lavret, and they lived in the fifth century. Jacut built churches in Brittany, and the abbey of Saint-⁠Jacut-⁠de-⁠la-⁠Mer bears his name. They are venerated as saints of the undivided Church and are commemorated on 8 February (new calendar).
