Life

Saints John and Benignus were twin brothers and monks of Moyenmoutier Abbey in the Vosges in France, and they reposed around the year 707. The Western calendars commemorate them as fathers and monks of that monastery.

They are commemorated on 21 July as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources do not preserve the story of their lives.
