Mondry

Saint Mondry (Latin Mundericus, also Monderic), a venerable father, was a hermit in the 6th century at Cellettes, in the diocese of Blois. He is venerated as a saint; some of the faithful remember him on 12 May, others on 10 May, in the Western calendar.

He lived in a humble cell, whose memory is kept in the old name of the place, Cella Sancti Mundrici, "the cell of Saint Mondry". He is said to have been the holder of an episcopal see founded around 570 in Neustria; he himself is said to have founded at Cellettes a church and a village in memory of his first cell. A church was raised over his tomb, probably in the 11th century.

His relics are kept in the parish church of Cellettes in a shrine of the 9th or 10th century: a small wooden box covered with bone plates with geometric designs and iron hinges. During the Hundred Years War they were taken to Blois for safety, and in 1447 the bishop of Chartres brought them back solemnly, in the presence of Charles of Orléans and Mary of Cleves. He is sometimes identified with Saint Munderic of Langres.
