Michomer

Michomer (Michomères, Micomer) was born in Ireland of Irish Pelagian parents, and was converted by Saint Germanus of Auxerre, whom he then accompanied to Gaul. He was a confessor and disciple of Germanus. He died on the road to Besançon, around 440 or 441, while he was the guest of the lord of Tonnerre, where he is venerated. According to legend, Saint Germanus lifted the stone of his tomb and brought him back to life for a few moments, to speak with him. He is commemorated on 30 April, in the Western calendar (new style). A saint of the undivided Church, venerated locally.
